Medical equipment hacking and defensive solutions presentation by Ben-Gurion U. researcher

(American Associates, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) The Ben Gurion University proposed system learns to recognize typical imaging scan protocols and to predict if a new, unseen command is legitimate or not. If an attacker sends a malicious command to the device, the system will detect it and alert the operator before the command is executed. Mahler notes that the system is not yet finished, but that the results are a significant milestone on the path to securing medical imaging devices.
