Simulation can help manufacturers develop safe and effective products on accelerated timelines to meet an increased need for medical devices in healthcare.

They will also collaborate on building cybersecurity resilience and workforce development.

Health systems can get ahead of cyber subterfuge by deploying mock threat actors to break into information systems, move around and see what they can do, says Gina Bertolini, partner at K&L Gates.

Threat actors could execute on a remote code execution vulnerability in Mirth Connect, a cross-platform communications tool, to gain access and compromise data, according to the NIST national vulnerability database.
