In order to increase its biological and clinical knowledge, MedSec, a premier solutions provider of medical device security, announced it is forming a new Healthcare Technology Cyber Risk Management (HTCRM) team with a roster of seasoned professionals in the sector. The present Chief Product Officer of MedSec and HTCRM authority Phil Englert will take on the position of Advisor for the new team.
"MedSec serves stakeholders of all kinds within the medical device eco-system. The establishment of this team allows us to better serve our hospital clients, who are tackling medical device security on a day-to-day basis."
Justine Bone, CEO at MedSec
"Biomedical and Clinical Engineering teams already have too many things on their plate – and they need leverage. Becoming an extension of their team, augmented by our technology capabilities, we're able to help our customers do things that they would otherwise not be capable of doing with their existing staff. Our clients love the combination of being able to 'speak tech' but also 'understand clinical' to help them further achieve their goals."
Andrew Donarumo, Chief Technology Officer at MedSec
Englert will continue to assist MedSec in creating security options for hospitals as an advisor. Englert brings to the position extensive understanding of clinical settings and medical technologies. His experience covers more than 30 years of technical and operational leadership in the healthcare and life sciences sector with an emphasis on creating strategic direction, enhancing operations, and undertaking business optimization and transformation efforts that are enabled by data and technology. In addition to governance and operations, vulnerability and patch management, incident response, medical device alerts, and SOC integration, Phil has led the development of medical device security programmes that have made it possible to prioritise strategic initiatives that will have an impact and carry out efficient maintenance and response tasks. In the past, he oversaw the development of strategy and tactics for a $250 million MedTech services business that supported over 130 Acute Care hospitals in 22 states.
