Mitigating Implanted Medical Device Cybersecurity Risks Cybersecurity vulnerabilities in medical devices have been widely documented. These issues have been described in hacking conferences as well as bulletins from the United States Food and Drug Administration. These issues present a serious threat to implantable medical devices. While the literature is replete with discussions of these vulnerabilities, there is less literature on a broadbased solution that would be applicable to all such devices. In fact, there is a substantial gap in the literature regarding how to mitigate the threat to implanted medical devices. This paper describes a specific firmware solution which can apply to any implantable medical device in order to mitigate security concerns.

A Survey of Security Vulnerability Analysis, Discovery, Detection, and Mitigation on IoT Devices With the prosperity of the Internet of Things (IoT) industry environment, the variety and quantity of IoT devices have grown rapidly. IoT devices have been widely used in smart homes, smart wear, smart manufacturing, smart cars, smart medical care, and many other liferelated fields. With it, security vulnerabilities of IoT devices are emerging endlessly. The proliferation of security vulnerabilities will bring severe risks to usersxe2x80x99 privacy and property. This paper first describes the research background, including IoT architecture, device components, and attack surfaces. We review stateoftheart research on IoT device vulnerability discovery, detection, mitigation, and other related works. Then, we point out the current challenges and opportunities by evaluation. Finally, we forecast and discuss the research directions on vulnerability analysis techniques of IoT devices.
