The Food and Drug Administration and Department of Homeland Security will work more closely to address threats to medical device cybersecurity.
The federal agencies have signed a memorandum of agreement to increase coordination and cooperation when it comes to potential or confirmed vulnerabilities and threats.
While the agencies have previously worked together on medical device cybersecurity, particularly around coordination of vulnerability disclosures, the agreement formalizes a long-standing relationship between the FDA and DHS, according to the announcement.
