Cybersecurity Meetup: Reducing Risk, Protecting Patient Safety

Add this Meetup to your agenda

Improving patient care, maintaining a competitive advantage, and extending the remote reach of physicians are top of mind for medical device manufacturers and health care providers. As medical devices are connected via the internet, hospital networks, mobile products and other devices or hospital systems, they can bring many clinical benefits.

But delivering these benefits requires addressing the new cyber and patient safety risks these devices can introduce. Deloitte’s cyber security meetup will bring participants together to discuss lessons learned and how the industry can collectively work together to help improve the overall security posture and reduce risk to patient safety.
