Q&A

Following the presentation we had the opportunity to ask Olaf a couple of questions:

  • Do cyber security concerns apply to diagnostic devices such as ECG machines?
  • What do I need to pay attention to in terms of security when adding a windows based diagnostic system to my network?
  • Is data/ cyber security up to the device manufacturer or the institution?
  • What are the general considerations for implementing a departmental IT system? Is this not protected by the wider hospital IT infrastructure?
