Navigating FDA and EU MDR/IVDR Compliance: Cybersecurity Strategies for Medical Devices

Both new and legacy medical devices are facing an array of cybersecurity challenges.

Recently, we partnered with Critical Software to deliver a webinar discussing these challenges and the strategies manufacturers can take to secure embedded software in everything from MRI machines to infusion pumps. 

During the webinar, “Navigating FDA and EU MDR/IVDR Compliance: Cybersecurity Strategies for Medical Devices,” industry experts Doug Britton and Afonso Neto shared a comprehensive look at medical device cybersecurity and provided attendees with actionable takeaways on this crucial topic.

The discussion included:

  • In-depth analysis of FDA and EU MDR/IVDR cybersecurity requirements for medical devices
  • Effective strategies for securing both new and legacy medical devices
  • Best practices for balancing security implementation with device functionality and development processes
  • The importance of transparency in device security capabilities and limitations
  • Approaches to lifecycle management of medical device cybersecurity

To illustrate the real-world impact of these strategies, we’re offering an exclusive medical device customer use case for download. This case study showcases significant improvements in vulnerability reduction:

  • 44% reduction in overall vulnerabilities
  • 71% mitigation of the most critical vulnerabilities
  • 100% elimination of memory safety vulnerabilities exploitable at runtime
