Information Week: The US Department of Veterans Affairs will use a new program and a set of standards developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to ensure that network-connectable medical devices and systems the VA procures meet baseline requirements for security.
The VA and UL this week entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement Program (CRADA) to facilitate the process. Under the agreement, the VA’s office of information technology will use UL’s Cybersecurity Assurance Program (CAP) to establish testable cybersecurity requirements for network-enabled medical devices, data systems, and associated technologies.
