The state of Security in the Medical Industry

Presented at ToorCon San Diego 19 (2017), Sept. 3, 2017, 3:30 p.m. (20 minutes)

Bringing awareness to the pain felt in the healthcare industry from a security standpoint, what attackers are targeting, and how the industry needs to steer itself to prevent further patient risk and mishandling of data. I’ll be covering a brief background on HIPAA, how it has set the stage for a series of failures, what those failures are, and things individuals and the medical industry can do to protect themselves.


Presenters:

  • Billy / Cannibal
    @cannibal has spent 10 years working in the medical device industry. While spending the majority of the time handling defensive security, he recently switched to the attack side after joining the Phobos Group in 2016. The handle “cannibal” comes from disassembling electronics and “cannibalizing” their components for other uses, so please feel free to approach with questions he’s pretty harmless.
