Medical Device Cyber-Security

Project Summary Ransomware attacks have increased dramatically in recent yearswith specific attacks targeting the medical communityandapos s infrastructureNokomis demonstrated under Phase I of this program that leveraging changes in unintended Radio FrequencyRFemissions signatures provides a means to detect these attacks in near real timein approximatelymswith a False Alarm Rate of andltxThis is more than two orders of magnitude faster than conventional software diagnostic toolsUnder the Phase II effort Nokomis will develop multiple prototype devices that will be tested with networked medical devicesThe purpose of the Phase II effort is to develop an industrial design for the Medical Device Cyber Threat Detection and MitigationMedCytprototype devicebuild and validate its functionalityand position it for market transitionThe design and manufacturing will use engineering best practices while using Commercial Off the ShelfCOTSmedical devicessuch as Infusion Pumpsas test specimens for testing against representative cyber attacks Project Narrative Increased threat of cyber attacks in hospitals and medical care facilities requires more layers of cyber security to ensure operation of the healthcare infrastructureThe proposed physical cyber security technology will help to secure networked medical devices and computers through almost instant detection of these events
