Abstract
A Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Framework that Integrates Value-Sensitive Design
Highlights
Advancements in technology have revolutionized the healthcare industry by making medical devices more productive, reducing the amount of human error, and enabling automation – all of which are helping healthcare practitioners treat more conditions and save more patient lives today than ever before (American Hospital Association, 2014)
We developed the key concepts necessary to articulate cybersecurity as a value proposition
Based on a review of the literature on the current landscape of medical device cybersecurity, on medical device risk mitigation, and on cybersecurity as a value proposition, we proposed a framework that integrates value articulation with the risk assessment and mitigation process
Summary
Advancements in technology have revolutionized the healthcare industry by making medical devices more productive, reducing the amount of human error, and enabling automation – all of which are helping healthcare practitioners treat more conditions and save more patient lives today than ever before (American Hospital Association, 2014). As medical devices become increasingly connected, and as some high-profile vulnerabilities are being exposed, cybersecurity of medical devices is garnering increased public, regulatory, and industry attention regarding cybersecurity risk and risk mitigation strategies. One dimension of these efforts that has not been readily addressed is how to convert these security efforts from an obligation to an asset that can maximize the value delivered to medical device stakeholders (MDPC, 2014). This value dimension of security requires a unique approach, first in the way that security risk is assessed and mitigated, and second in the way it affects stakeholders of medical devices themselves
