Embed security requirements into the medical device development lifecycle, partnering with R&D and systems teams from architecture through release.
Perform system-level threat modeling (e.g., STRIDE or similar), attack surface analysis, and vulnerability assessments for connected and embedded medical devices.
Support and review implementation of device security capabilities such as: Secure boot and root of trust, Secure firmware/software update mechanisms, Device identity and authentication, Secure communications and protocol hardening, Data protection at rest and in transit, Key management and Hardware Security Module (HSM) concepts.
Apply modern cryptographic principles and support forward-looking strategies including quantum-resistant approaches where applicable.
Partner with agile development teams to embed security into design reviews, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and verification activities.
Define and support security V&V activities including penetration testing, static/dynamic analysis, fuzz testing, and vulnerability management.
Ensure alignment with medical device cybersecurity expectations including: FDA premarket cybersecurity guidance, IEC 81001-5-1, ISO 14971, NIST frameworks, Relevant Medtronic quality processes.
Support coordinated vulnerability disclosure, post-market monitoring, and security issue response for released products.
Work closely with R&D, systems, software, quality, and regulatory teams to drive secure product development.
Maintain awareness of evolving threats, healthcare cybersecurity trends, and regulatory expectations for connected medical devices.
