Advanced Security-for-safety Assurance for Medical Device IoT
MedSecurance will conceive novel methodologies, infrastructures, and technologies that enable an effective, harmonious and continuous development and evolution of secure system engineering management activities in Internet of Medical Things (IoMT).
Our objective is to advance knowledge and basic understanding of decision making in diverse IoMT threat landscapes based on different system and component level interactions. This is accomplished via the development of a novel holistic strategy that considers the interdependence of several IoMT subsystems, information exchange, risk thresholds, and regulatory ramifications.
We provide scalable and verifiable secure system engineering management solution(s) that capture, communicate, and act on these complexities in order to improve decision-making in cyber defence while automating cybersecurity assurance.
Modern medical devices software development practices are the leading solutions to address complexity and evolution. However, substantial challenges remain in achieving interoperability, dependability and trustworthiness at scale within a diverse commercial medical device market facing an escalating threat environment. We address MedSecurance ambitions through five specific objectives addressing the evolving security challenges of today’s connected medical devices:
- Systematic review, concept, and gap analysis of security approaches for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT).
- Requirements and design of harmonized tools and methods for the unification of automated security and safety assurance for certification of IoMT.
- Development of a security assurance automation toolbox.
- Industry validation of new risk assessment and security assurance methods and tools.
- MDCG 2019-16 recommendations, dissemination and engagement of stakeholders.
