Automated Cybersecurity Assurance for Connected Medical Devices

healthTestedTRL 5

Imagine your medical devices are like smartphones that need constant updates to stay safe from hackers. Instead of manually checking every single part, this project creates a smart system that automatically spots weak points and fixes them. It acts like an automated security guard that ensures life-saving equipment stays online and safe.
