Supply chain security in the health sector: SBOMs and digitally-enabled medical devices:
Nick Baty

Mainstream narrative within the cyber security industry tells us that financial loss, legal exposure, and organisational reputational damage are the most serious impacts that we can expect from malicious cyber activity. However, when examining the role that technologies play within delivering life-saving medical care via digitally-enabled medical devices, we begin to realise that the consequences of unmanaged cyber risk within this context can be literally life-threatening. Nick Baty will discuss why maintaining effective supply chain assurance, through the use of software bills of materials (SBOM), is a critical activity in managing the cyber security risk associated with digitally-enabled medical devices.
