Educational SANS Webinar on Securing Unmanaged IoT Devices in Healthcare & Life Sciences


CyberX, the IoT security company, today announced that it is sponsoring an educational SANS webinar about "Securing Unmanaged IoT Devices in Healthcare & Life Sciences."

Led by Christy Peel, formerly the Global Information Security Officer & Risk Manager at a Global 2000 pharmaceutical and life sciences organization, the webinar will be held on Friday, April 3, at 10:30 a.m. EDT.

Now more than ever, healthcare and life sciences organizations play a vital role in our collective wellbeing. Today's researchers and scientists rely on a diverse set of smart devices to get their critical work done faster and more efficiently, including connected IoT devices such as real-time sensors, lab cameras, automated liquid handling robots, and mass spectrometers. Healthcare organizations also rely on a range of building management systems (BMS) to manage physical access control, security cameras, power, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, pumping stations, elevators, and lights.

However, these IoT devices don't support agents and are often unpatched, unmanaged, and invisible to IT teams ? making them soft targets for adversaries seeking to gain access to corporate networks in order to steal sensitive intellectual property or deploy ransomware.

The webinar will cover the following topics:

Christy Peel spent the last eight years at a Global 2000 pharmaceutical and life sciences organization, where she was head of global information security and risk management. She previously worked as a Principal Technical Consultant at BT Global Services, where she designed technical architectures for biomedical and energy organizations.
