Multicore, COTS software and Whitelisting Brings Security to Medical Devices

Overview:
The webinar will be based around Intel's Proof of Concept platform for therapeutic medical markets highlighting the use of Intel® Architecture, Wind River software and McAfee Whitelisting. We have a demo of an infusion pump application that demonstrates how the combination of Intel Architecture, COTS software from Wind River and McAfee security software helps create a more connected, intelligent, and secure platform for a medical device providing critical patient care.

What attendees will learn:

• How major concerns of Health IT and Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDO) will start to affect security approaches for medical devices
• Growth of malware and deployment that must be considered in design approach
• Techniques for future proofing designs for security recognizing the changing landscape
• Platform for testing key security concepts surrounding these techniques
