The way forward in developing rigorous cybersecurity is “designing security in from the get-go,” says Kevin Fu, associate professor at the University of Michigan. Fu made his remarks in his keynote presentation at the Design of Medical Devices conference at the University of Minnesota in April 2019.“Trying to bolt security on after the fact — just like safety — is hard,” he says, emphasizing that it is essential to get it in “not just at the specification stage, but as you are white boarding and thinking about what are the risks that come into play.”
