Securing a Connected Future

Introduction

This book demonstrates how robust cybersecurity measures are essential for protecting intellectual property. By intertwining these two critical areas, the authors aim to provide a unified framework that enhances the security and value of medical technology innovations.

Scope and Focus

With those points in mind, the authors of this book explore the topics of cybersecurity and intellectual property (IP) within the scope of the Internet of Things (IoT) lifecycle, emphasizing medical technology, and providing readers with the knowledge to recognize vulnerabilities at each stage of the IoT and IP development lifecycle. This book thus enables organizations to proactively incorporate robust security measures into their design, development, and protection processes.

Topics Covered

The topics discussed in this book are (1) protecting sensitive data as it is created, transformed, and aggregated, (2) mitigating potential attacks, (3) the impacts of third-party acquisitions on security, (4) case studies that emphasize potential risks, (5) identification and management of vulnerabilities, and finally (6) examining emerging trends and opportunities associated with integrating new technologies, with an eye toward the future of cybersecurity.

Intended Audience

This is an essential resource for medical technology R&D leaders, medical technology manufacturing operations leaders, healthcare informaticists, and healthcare industry IP legal teams.
