D0N0H4RM: Cyber STEM Storytime

A multidisciplinary panel of pediatricians, biomedical engineers, and cybersecurity researchers discuss medical device security and healthcare cybersecurity education at the DEF CON 32 Creator Stage.

[10:41] The panelists share real-world experiences responding to cybersecurity incidents in hospitals, illustrating how ransomware attacks and clinical system outages directly jeopardize patient care by knocking out electronic health records, diagnostic lab telemetry, and infusion pump monitoring.

[21:25] The discussion focuses on building collaborative bridges between clinical medical staff, biomedical technicians, and independent security researchers. Panelists explore responsible vulnerability disclosure frameworks in healthcare, ethical constraints, and educational STEM initiatives [43:16] designed to inspire the next generation of technologists to safeguard life-critical medical devices under the ethical mandate of "Do No Harm" (D0N0H4RM).
