Center for Medical Device Cybersecurity Virtual Symposium
The Center for Medical Device Cybersecurity Symposium is part of IEM Innovation Week at the University's 2021 Design of Medical Devices Conference which will be held virtually in 2021. The Symposium is an opportunity to share prospectives, initiatives and updates from government, academia and industry on the latest trends and threats in medical device cybersecurity.
Morning presentations via zoom feature both University and industry experts in medical device Cybersecurity. The afternoon features a live "capture the flag" event hosted by Archimedes.

Archimedes Capture the Flag Event
Monday, April 12, 1:15 - 5:00 pm CDT (UTC -5)
What is a Capture The Flag (CTF)?
Individual or Teams of Hackers (you) work to defend a hospital under siege, racing against the clock. The immersive, "learn by doing" environment will challenge hackers to use their skills to anticipate, defend, and recover, as their adversary escalates their attacks throughout the game.
Be part of the live exercise on April 12 and get hands on experience working on medical device security challenges. Participants will download simulated device security "problems" to be discovered and solved. This event is for intermediate or advanced individuals or teams (limited to five individuals per team), this is not recommended for beginners.
Capture the Flag Leads from the Biohacking Village are Nina Alli and Šarka Pekarov
