University Course Will Teach Medical Device Security

A Security Ledger article announces that the University of Michigan will offer a graduate course (EECS 598-008) on medical device security, covering engineering concepts, human factors, regulations, and hands-on techniques like reverse engineering, static analysis, and fuzz testing. The piece highlights growing concerns about insecure software in connected medical devices, references past research demonstrating vulnerabilities (including a remote insulin pump hack), and frames the course as a response to the need for improved device security and requirements engineering.
