Essentials of Medical devices
RCCE students will learn medical device cybersecurity including FDA premarket and postmarket guidance, medical device network security, legacy device protection, clinical network segmentation, and healthcare IoT security. RCCE students will learn to assess medical device cybersecurity risks in clinical environments, implement network segmentation to isolate medical devices from general IT networks, manage legacy medical device vulnerabilities without disrupting patient care, comply with FDA cybersecurity guidance and HIPAA security requirements, monitor medical device communications for anomalies, coordinate vulnerability disclosure with device manufacturers, and respond to cybersecurity incidents affecting medical devices while maintaining patient safety. This essentials course covers the core knowledge needed to operate competently in this domain. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn the fundamental concepts, terminology, risks, and defenses that form the foundation for all further study and professional practice. Students build a solid knowledge base that prepares them for more advanced courses and real-world security responsibilities.
