This session entitled ‘Medical Device Forensics’ will be held on Friday March 7 from 15:00-16:45 followed by a social drink. 

Veronica Schmitt and Emlyn Butterfield, both from Noroff, will hold 2 lectures:

Reverse Engineering Medical Devices: A Forensic Perspective.
Understanding how medical devices work under the hood is crucial for both vulnerability research and digital forensics. This talk walks through the process of reverse engineering medical device firmware, extracting and analysing data, and identifying security weaknesses. Attendees will learn about the tools and methodologies used by security researchers, as well as ethical and legal considerations when investigating proprietary medical technologies.

Medical Devices: Just Another Piece of Digital Evidence
Medical devices are often seen as complex, specialized systems, but in forensic investigations, they should be treated like any other piece of digital evidence. Whether it’s a pacemaker, an infusion pump, or an imaging system, these devices generate logs, store data, and connect to networks—just like traditional endpoints. This talk breaks down medical device forensics into familiar forensic principles: data acquisition, integrity preservation, analysis, and reporting. Using real-world case studies, we’ll explore how medical device data can be used in investigations, from reconstructing patient timelines to uncovering cyberattacks on hospital infrastructure. Attendees will learn practical forensic techniques, legal considerations, and why medical devices should be integrated into standard forensic workflows rather than treated as outliers.
