WHY ATTEND? Our events do not focus on the latest industry buzz or trendy new product development. We want you to feel comfortable speaking freely about your cyber security issues with trusted and respected professionals who can help you establish best practices for improving medical device security. At Archimedes, we provide a secure forum for you to learn about emerging cyber security issues and then we arm you with the knowledge to better protect both your patients and clients. Attendees from our previous conferences have included: Chief information security officers; Directors of product engineering; System engineers; VPs of global product security; IT security managers; Physicians; Chairs of medical device security standards bodies; Security researchers; Front-line engineers from clinical facilities.
