ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

As Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices handle more and more patient data and are connected over the Internet to the complex hospital information and communication infrastructure, their role in the transformation of healthcare services will introduce a range of new potential risks. In this talk, we present our experimental evaluation of the potential risks that accompany the integration of a given IoMT device, here a connected pacemaker, from a hardware and network perspective. We will show how a black box testing approach to the ecosystem allowed us to find key shortcomings that enable several practical and low-cost attacks that could impact a patient’s safety and privacy.
