Medical Device Security & Forensic-Ready System Design
When a device keeps a patient alive, it must also be able to tell us what happened to it.
My work focuses on digital forensics, incident response and cyber security in regulated, safety-critical environments. A central thread is the security and observability of network-connected medical devices.
As part of my PhD at the University of Plymouth, I am developing forensic-ready logging frameworks for embedded medical devices. The goal is that devices relied on for clinical care produce structured, verifiable and defensible telemetry.
The practical challenge is to build evidential integrity and security monitoring into constrained systems while preserving regulatory compliance, performance and, above all, patient safety.
