Hopefully

From http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2009/12/features/25-ideas-for-2010-neurosecurity.aspx ( 25 ideas for 2010: Neurosecurity ), a quote from Kevin Fu, of the Medical Device Security Centre:

“Hopefully the medical community will have the proper regulatory incentives to manufacture devices that can resist the security and privacy risks introduced by wireless communication,” says the MDSC’s Kevin Fu. “Otherwise it’s a no-brainer that some depraved person will attempt to cause harm.”

Undoubtedly this has been taken out of context.  Partly because the second point doesn’t follow on from the first - the threat will be there regardless of whether it will be resisted or not.  But mainly…  hoping that a community will come together to provide regulatory incentives is obviously overly optimistic: the glacial evolution of the PCI DSS shows that it’s unlikely at best. I’m hoping the BioTechnology Indsutry Organisation Device Security Standard ( BIO DSS ) is alive and well by the time I require one of the devices.
