New Medical Device Incident Response Playbook

Some of you may remember last year when we highlighted a resource to help you run a ransomware simulation in your healthcare organization.  I came across that great resource thanks to Christopher Frenz, AVP of IT Security at Mount Sinai South Nassau.  Well, it turns out that Frenz is continuing to give back to the healthcare security community with a new playbook focused on medical device incident response that he co-created with Brian Russell, Co-Chair, Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Internet of Things (IoT) Working Group, and a number of other contributors.  You can find the medical device incident response playbook on the Cloud Security Alliance website.

To better know how healthcare organizations can use this playbook, I sat down with Frenz to talk about the medical device security landscape and common cases where medical devices are compromised.  Plus, Frenz shares the thinking behind the playbook and how a healthcare organization can use it to improve their medical device security and response.

If you want to know more about the medical device security threats your organization faces and how to better manage them, you’ll enjoy this interview with Christopher Frenz.
