BSidesKC 2019 - Luka Trbojevic - Attacking Healthcare and the Life Sciences
Channel: BSidesKC
Date: 12/06/2019

From newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit to cancer research, the stakes in healthcare and the life sciences are very high. There are often no second chances, and the bar for loss of life can be low. In this talk, we’re going to identify and discuss niche offensive targets specific to healthcare and the life sciences, some of which have very little to no public visibility or consideration. We’ll look at the impact and consequence should they be pursued, covering lifesaving treatment to research data integrity and what it all means. We’ll explore current and potential exploits against some of these targets, and how unnervingly easy they are to find and use. To conclude, we’ll discuss ways to bring awareness to these threats and specific mitigations.
