Grand Rounds

This joint speaker series consists of one-hour virtual lectures and panels on cybersecurity topics with application to medical device security and biomedical engineering. The goal is to introduce key concepts of cybersecurity science and engineering via distinguished academic speakers to the biomedical engineering and manufacturing communities. Topics covered include human factors for cybersecurity, trustworthy medical device software, security engineering for machine learning, cybersecurity of computer vision, threat modeling, software bills of materials, software safety, cybersecurity regulations, and the science of cybersecurity. This speaker series is an educational opportunity, not intended to discuss FDA policy.

Seminars are held on every third Thursday of the month at 3pm Eastern Time

MARCH

As medical device cybersecurity moves from theory to practice, manufacturers face mounting pressure from global regulators who are now rejecting market applications due to security deficiencies, while hospitals increasingly demand specific cybersecurity requirements in procurement contracts. Organizations are responding by building specialized security engineering teams, but they're discovering that medical device security requires a unique skill set distinct from traditional software engineering or IT security—and qualified talent is scarce.

This practical seminar will guide you through identifying essential skill sets, developing the right talent pool, and implementing organizational models tailored to your business size and type. You'll gain access to an overview of available training programs and public resources, plus actionable strategies to immediately build or strengthen your organization's product security capabilities.
