What is an ISAC and what does the H-ISAC do?
The government’s increased appetite for cybersecurity regulation (with a focus on medical device security)
How to protect against attacks with tens of thousands of different medical devices made by a wide array of different manufacturers and that do different things
The importance of having visibility into the components that make up those thousands of medical devices
Whether the SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) is ready to be a key control in the healthcare cybersecurity ecosystem
