How AI is Shaping MedTech Cybersecurity

Sep 4

At MD&M West 2025, the MedTech Spotlight Live videocast featured in-depth conversations with industry leaders tackling today’s most urgent challenges. Ashkon Rasooli of Engenius Solutions joins Orthogonal’s Randy Horton and Ben Trombold to explore how AI is reshaping cybersecurity in medical devices.

🔹 Key Insights from the Interview:

AI’s Expanding Role: AI is no longer just a tool, it’s an attacker, defender, and target. As its role evolves, security strategies must adapt to protect both AI models and the critical data they rely on.
Cybersecurity & Patient Safety: A single poisoned dataset can compromise device functionality, putting patient care at risk. Strengthening safeguards isn’t optional but a necessity.
Quality Without the Bureaucracy: Ashkon’s “Non-BS Manifesto” challenges outdated quality management practices, advocating for lean, effective systems that drive real innovation.

As AI continues to shape MedTech, cybersecurity must evolve in step. Are your systems prepared for the next generation of threats?
