Keynote Speaking
Helping MedTech ship safe, secure, FDA-ready devices.
Most of my talks now focus on medical device cybersecurity: FDA premarket submissions, postmarket surveillance, SBOMs, and the human side of secure MedTech. I also host the Med Device Cyber Podcast and am completing the definitive book on the topic.






Signature Keynote
Secure by Design Starts with the Humans, Not the Code.
Why most medical device cybersecurity programs fail the FDA, and the team habits that get devices cleared, shipped, and safe in the field. Built from 250+ FDA submissions and a decade of training MedTech engineering teams.
01
The 4 human failure modes behind most FDA cybersecurity deficiencies.
02
How to structure a secure-by-design program your engineers will actually follow.
03
What's changing in 2026: AI-enabled devices, PCCPs, SBOMs, and EU CRA.
Watch
MedTech clearance is just the start.
A short take on why FDA clearance is the floor, not the finish line, and what postmarket cybersecurity actually demands of device makers.
