As cybersecurity expectations tighten across the healthcare sector, organizations that develop, supply, or operate medical devices face growing pressure to improve Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) transparency and vulnerability management. Teams must go beyond generating SBOMs for compliance. They must ensure accuracy, continuously monitor risk, and respond rapidly to emerging threats.
Regulators such as the FDA and global frameworks like the IMDRF are raising the bar. They emphasize secure product design, ongoing vulnerability management, SBOM inclusion in technical documentation, and timely communication of risks across the product lifecycle. Increasingly, this also extends to post market surveillance and coordinated vulnerability disclosure.
In practice, these expectations require automated and operational SBOM workflows. Organizations need to:
- Generate complete, high-fidelity SBOMs in machine-readable, industry-standard formats.
- Continuously monitor components against evolving vulnerability intelligence, including sources like the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.
- Rapidly triage, prioritize, and communicate vulnerabilities to stakeholders across the ecosystem.
In this webinar, you will learn what medical device cybersecurity guidance requires, and what both engineering teams and healthcare providers should do now to prepare. We will cover practical approaches to uncover deeply embedded third-party components within firmware, reduce gaps caused by incomplete SBOMs, and streamline vulnerability identification, triage, and disclosure.
We will also explore how SBOMs can be operationalized by hospitals and healthcare organizations, enabling better procurement decisions, improved asset visibility, and proactive risk management.
Whether you are already generating SBOMs or just beginning your journey, you will leave with clear next steps and a stronger foundation for improving both compliance and real-world medical device security.
