A collection of research scientists, with help from the IEEE Cybersecurity Initiative, have released a new set of guidelines for developers to take into account to ensure security figures into how medical devices are coded. The paper, Building Code for Medical Device Software Security, (.PDF) was released Monday and authored by Dr. Tom Haigh, a researcher at Adventium Labs and Carl Landwehr, a lead research scientist at George Washington University. The researchers liken their guidelines to building codes, if implemented correctly, they hope their codes help software stand up to the demands of its environment.
