Fools Gold: Medical Devices and Computer Security


BIO

Hello, my name is Michael Aguilar (v3ga) and I am a Principal Consultant at Secureworks. I have been doing hacky types of things for a number of years and have worked in various areas(General Consulting, Medical Device Testing, DoD Consulting). I mainly read, try to learn new things or ride my bicycle.

ABSTRACT

With millions being made in profits, when is it the responsibility of the companies to want to reform and begin implementing safe practices for their device design and implementation?
