CyForMeD – Cybersecurity For Medical Devices
Our goal is to help you find all the cybersecurity information you need in one place so you can make sound, risk-based decisions for the medical technology you support. We concentrate medical device and healthcare specific cybersecurity information in one place so you can be more efficient and do what you do best – keep equipment available and safe for patient care.
Our Mission
We collect and organize medical device cybersecurity information so you don’t have to.
We search far and wide on the internet to curate, concentrate, and collect medical device cybersecurity information and data so you don’t have to. Use our years of experience, significant data store, and cross-referenced data to assist you in managing your medical device cybersecurity risk.
Who We Are
Experience and Expertise – the website might be new, but we definitely aren’t.
With over 20 years experience in Biomedical Engineering we understand the unique issues that come with managing medical technology. Network connected medical devices pose specific challenges not fully appreciated by traditional IT-departments. We have the knowledge and the experience to help you bridge the clinical-IT gap.
How we can help
Cybersecurity information hub to consultation and everything in between – we’ve got you covered.
We run the gamut… From providing timely notification and commentary on emerging cyber threats that impact medical technology, to cybersecurity specific documentation for medical devices. Need some example governance documents and frameworks or full consultation services to help you get your cyber program up and running- We can help with that.
