Health Electronics Summit 2026
Digital Health is reshaping medical technology. Connected medical devices, wearables, intelligent sensors, AI-assisted decision support, and cloud-based infrastructures are opening up new opportunities for diagnostics, therapy, and patient care. At the same time, the requirements for safety, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance are increasing. Sensitive patient data, safety-critical software functions, and valuable intellectual property must be reliably protected throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Health Electronics Summit 2026 brings together developers, manufacturers, medical technology engineers, security experts, and compliance professionals who are shaping secure Digital Health. The event focuses on secure product development, protected communication, trustworthy AI, robust update processes, Secure Silicon, IoMT security, and current regulatory requirements such as FDA guidance, MDR, NIS2, and the Cyber Resilience Act.
For Wibu-Systems, this environment is a natural fit: CodeMeter protects software, firmware, AI models, and digital business models against analysis, manipulation, and unauthorized use. With technologies for encryption, integrity protection, digital signatures, secure licensing, and end-to-end chains of trust, Wibu-Systems helps manufacturers make security an integral part of modern medical technology rather than a standalone measure.
Talk: Protecting Patient Data: Cybersecurity and CRA in Medical Technology
In his 30-minute talk at 11:30 am, Ruediger Kuegler, Security Expert and Head of Professional Services at Wibu-Systems, will show why encryption alone does not guarantee security. Drawing on practical examples, he will highlight common pitfalls in the implementation of cryptographic methods and explain how encryption, integrity protection, digital signatures, and secure boot concepts need to work together to effectively protect software, firmware, patient data, and AI models.
The talk will also address the impact of the Cyber Resilience Act on connected medical devices. Secure updates, protection against manipulated firmware versions, and safeguarding the entire software lifecycle make one thing clear: Cybersecurity does not begin in operation; it starts in product development.
Join Wibu-Systems at Health Electronics Summit 2026 and learn how an end-to-end chain of trust can help make medical technology more secure, resilient, and trustworthy for manufacturers, operators, and patients alike.
