An event brought to you by Medilink West Midland's Patron: CSA Group which will provide an overview of the differences between traditional safety-based risk management and Security Risk Management, also called Threat Modelling.

This workshop will be led by Laura Élan, P.E., RAC — Senior Manager, Cybersecurity, CSA Group.

Laura will examine several standards and methodologies that have been recommended by global regulators.

To conclude, she will present a set of best practices and resources that manufacturers may use to assure IoT and/or network enabled medical devices and software systems include the needed risk controls to improve resiliency against identified security risks.

Risk Management is a core process for the identification, evaluation, control, and management of risks affecting product safety. While many companies have adopted rigorous risk management activities for safety, including Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), Hazard and Operability assessment (HAZOP), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and the like as a part of their product development lifecycle, the addition of IoT enabled and network connected devices requires a different risk management discipline, that is Threat Modelling.

CSA Group is an internationally accredited provider of testing and certification services and a global leader in healthcare systems conformity assessment services, helping manufacturers’ access markets around the world.
