When everyone can find your bugs: medical device security after AI.

AI has collapsed the cost of vulnerability discovery to nearly zero. Manufacturers now face more findings per product, per release, than any team can triage by hand, each one needing an evidenced disposition under FDA premarket (524B) and postmarket expectations.

AI has collapsed the cost of vulnerability discovery to nearly zero. Manufacturers now face more findings per product, per release, than any team can triage by hand, each one needing an evidenced disposition under FDA premarket (524B) and postmarket expectations.

The trend

Discovery no longer has a barrier to entry. Volume per release keeps climbing while triage capacity stays flat.

The response

Build your own AI analysis that determines which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable against a specific device, not theoretically present in it.

The migration

A practical path from manual, point-in-time testing to continuous AI-driven discovery and verification, with a CI/CD feedback loop that stays quality-system compliant.

You will leave with a transition strategy: where to start, what to automate first, and how to keep pace.

The agenda

From point-in-time testing to continuous AI-driven verification.

A methods session, not a product demo. Every technique covered can be built in-house, regardless of which tools you run today.

01 · THE TREND

Discovery without a barrier to entry

Why the cost of finding vulnerabilities collapsed, what the CVE curve does next, and what that means per product, per release.

02 · THE OBLIGATION

An evidenced disposition, every time

FDA premarket (524B) and postmarket expectations do not care how many findings there are. Each one still needs a defensible call with evidence behind it.

03 · THE ANALYSIS

Exploitable vs. theoretically present

Architecting automated analysis that tests reachability on the actual device: entry vectors, conditions, and when a finding is a weakness rather than a vulnerability.

04 · THE LOOP

Verified findings into CI/CD

Routing confirmed findings to the build pipeline in a quality-system-compliant manner, with the traceability your QMS expects intact.

05 · THE MIGRATION

Where to start, what to automate first

A practical sequence from manual, point-in-time testing to continuous discovery and verification, sized for teams that cannot pause shipping to rebuild.

06 · Q&A

Your device categories

Open questions against the architectures in the room: firmware-heavy, SaMD, and connected platforms all run the same playbook differently.

What you'll learn

Six takeaways for product security and regulatory leaders.

Why discovery went exponential

AI tools tear through products at a speed humans can't match. Everyone can find your bugs now, including researchers, regulators, and attackers.

Finding vs. understanding

The bottleneck moved. The challenge is no longer finding vulnerabilities. It is knowing which ones are actually exploitable against your product.

Build your own AI analysis

How to develop automated analysis that determines real exploitability against a specific device, not theoretical presence in it.

A CI/CD feedback loop

How to route verified findings directly into your pipeline in a quality-system-compliant manner, so proof lands where the code is built.

An evidenced disposition

Why every finding needs a defensible call under FDA 524B and postmarket expectations, and how to produce it at volume.

Fixes, not recommendations

Why remediation is where AI pays off: full context produces a code-level fix that can be pushed and re-tested, instead of a high-level suggestion.

A transition strategy

Where to start, what to automate first, and how to keep pace with discovery that no longer has a barrier to entry.

The point of finding everything

Knowing everything is the start. Fixing it is the objective.

The reason to find everything is not the list. It is that you cannot make an informed decision about a product you only partly understand. Once you know the whole picture, you can rank it honestly, dismiss what is not reachable, and put the effort where it changes something.

THE OLD LOOP · ENDS AT ADVICE Finding something is wrong “Sanitize input” high-level recommendation Your developer works out the rest loop never closes THE AGENTIC LOOP · ENDS AT A VERIFIED FIX 01 Find it everything, not a sample 02 Classify it exploitable or not 03 Write the fix full context, at the line 04 Push it into the pipeline 05 Test the fix re-verified, closed the loop closes, and runs again on the next release Knowing everything is the start. Fixing it is the objective. Discovery without remediation just moves the burden. The gift of AI is that it can now do both ends.
The old loop ends at advice. The agentic loop ends at a fix that has been pushed and re-tested.

The old ceiling on remediation

Prescriptive fixes were always too expensive to write. A human tester had hours, not days, so you got a category of advice: sanitize input, improve the encryption, harden the interface. True, and almost impossible to act on without redoing the analysis yourself.

Where AI actually earns its keep

Remediation is the part AI is unreasonably good at. It holds the whole context at once: the finding, the surrounding code, the architecture, the constraints. So the output is not a category, it is the change, at the line, in your language and your codebase.

And it does not stop at writing the fix. The same loop can push it, test it, and confirm the finding is actually closed, then start over on the next release. That is the full agentic circle, and it is the part of this shift that pays for itself.

"AI has collapsed the cost of vulnerability discovery to nearly zero. The manufacturers who prepare now will spend next year shipping. The ones who don't will spend it explaining themselves to regulators."

Questions

Common questions about medical device security after AI.

What does this webinar cover?

The session covers what happens when AI collapses the cost of vulnerability discovery to nearly zero: why the CVE curve keeps climbing, why every finding still needs an evidenced disposition under FDA premarket 524B and postmarket expectations, how to architect automated analysis that tests reachability on the actual device, and how to route verified findings into CI/CD.

Is this a product demo?

This is a methods session, not a product demo. The material is vendor neutral, and every technique covered can be built in house regardless of which tools you run today. The agenda moves from the discovery trend to the disposition obligation, the analysis, the CI/CD loop, a migration sequence, and Q&A.

Who is this for?

Product security and regulatory leaders at medical device manufacturers. The takeaways are aimed at teams who own the triage volume, who have to produce a defensible call on every finding, and who cannot pause shipping to rebuild their process. The recorded Q&A covers firmware heavy products, SaMD, and connected platforms.

Is there a replay?

Yes, this is the replay. The session aired Tuesday, September 1, 2026 and ran 45 minutes plus Q&A. The recording and the slide deck sit on this page behind one short form, and the page stays unlocked in your browser once you have filled it in. Anyone who registered for the live session can use the same form to get both.

What is the difference between finding a vulnerability and understanding it?

Finding is no longer the bottleneck. AI tools tear through products at a speed humans cannot match, so findings per product per release have outrun manual triage. The harder question is which of them are actually exploitable against a specific device rather than theoretically present in it, and answering that takes device context.
