ISACA Chapter Roundtable: Common Vulnerabilities Found in Medical Devices
2022-11-17 15:30 - 17:00 | MN
Medical devices can provide life-saving and quality of life improvements for the patients who use them, but these devices frequently use embedded systems that are vulnerable in a number of ways. Bypassing and/or sniffing the physical and wireless interfaces, extraction and manipulation of firmware, and even data exfiltration can be performed with some surprisingly simple attacks. This discussion will cover how years of penetration testing has shown that these vulnerabilities are present industry-wide as well as some simple ways to mitigate the risks of attack. Following the presentation,the speakers will walk through some of the embedded testing techniques commonly used on real hardware to paint a picture of what common attack vectors look like.

Sudheer Karanam: Privilege Identity & Access Management
Privileged Identity & Access Management is a set of strategies and procedures employed to govern the elevated access and permissions for users (human and non-human), processes, and systems across the organization. Privileged Management is among the most necessary controls as it ensures that an organization’s value is well protected. It also encourages adaptation of many industry best security practices, such as Principle of Least Privilege, Just-In-Time Access, Secret Management, etc. thus minimizing attack surface, enhancing operational excellence, and achieving compliance.
Sudheer Karanam brings over 19 years of experience in the IT Industry with over 12 years dedicated to InfoSec. His expertise includes many Information security domains such as User Profile Management, Personally Identifiable Information, Single Sign On, OAuth, OpenId, Device Identity, Risk Adaptable Access controls, Privileged Identity and Access Management, Secrets Management, and PCI (Payment Card Industry) standards & processes.
