Sponsored Webcast: 5 Most Common Misconceptions of Medical Device Security

When:  Feb 26, 2026 from 12:00 to 13:00 (ET)

Weak cybersecurity strategies can cause submission delays, deficiency letters, and inconsistent global approvals.

This webcast will connect cybersecurity myths directly to real regulatory outcomes using global case studies. It emphasizes practical integration of standards and regulatory expectations rather than high-level or purely technical cybersecurity theory.

Attendees will learn how to align cybersecurity documentation with existing quality and risk management systems. The content provides clear guidance on how to support submissions, respond to regulator questions, and work effectively with engineering and quality teams.

From confusing data protection with patient safety to misunderstanding what qualifies as a cyber device, hosts will shed light on the blind spots that cause costly delays and compliance failures. They will also explore how medical device cybersecurity differs fundamentally from traditional cybersecurity, emphasizing the need for specialized expertise and early integration of secure design principles.
