Timesys Security Solutions help accelerate time-to-market for industry-leading medical devices running embedded Linux

Meet cybersecurity standards at product launch and keep products secure for their entire lifecycle

Timesys Vigiles security vulnerability SBOM scanner

Secure By Design solution integrating best practice security features

Boost security standard compliance by providing documentation on security design and features. Simplify meeting IEC 62304, FDA Premarket and Postmarket Security Guidance, and the new NEMA MDS2 Requirements

Provide more accurate and streamlined vulnerability (CVE) management with unique SCA features, optimized for embedded systems

Update & maintain security of your Linux OS/BSPs throughout the device lifecycle

Deliver new products to market on time and under budget with strong security

Timesys is the partner of choice for the industry’s leading Medical Device Manufacturers (MDMs). Our solutions and services enable you to rapidly develop products that meet the most demanding security requirements.

Medical device security is critical. A successful cybersecurity attack can put patients at risk, compromise health care outcomes and violate privacy laws. Health Delivery Organizations (HDOs) increasingly demand MDMs to meet strong cybersecurity requirements and maintain that security over time.

Gone are the days when an MDM could freeze a medical device’s software at product launch and never update it. Device connectivity is now the norm, and hundreds of new vulnerabilities are uncovered every week, putting devices and HDOs at risk of compromise.

Timesys offers development and security maintenance solutions that ensure your medical devices running embedded Linux are launched with the most secure software components and that they can be kept secure throughout their production lifecycles.

  • Accurate, curated meta-data on software components for higher rates of vulnerability identification and accuracy, with fewer false positives
  • Streamlined remediation of vulnerabilities with efficient collaboration

Linux OS/BSP Maintenance

Our turnkey Linux OS/BSP Maintenance service, bringing our team of embedded system software experts to manage all aspects of maintaining the OS of your embedded Linux BSPs. We take care of:

  • Monitoring and applying updates and patches, validating changes and providing you with reports on status
  • Maintaining the strongest security posture throughout device deployment
  • Providing you with ready-to-deploy platform updates

Streamline and simplify compliance with medical device security standards and regulations

  • FDA Guidance (FDA-2018-D-3443) for Premarket submissions, such as 510(k):
    • Cybersecurity measures during the design and development of medical devices
    • Identification of assets, threats, and vulnerabilities
    • Ensure trusted content by maintaining code, data, and execution integrity
    • Maintain confidentiality of data
  • FDA Guidance (FDA-2015-D-5105) for Postmarket Management of Cybersecurity:
    • Monitoring cybersecurity information sources
    • Monitoring third party software components for new vulnerabilities throughout the device’s total product lifecycle
    • Understanding, assessing and detecting presence and impact of a vulnerability
    • Validation for software updates and patches that are used to remediate vulnerabilities, including those related to off-the-shelf software
    • Deploying mitigations that address cybersecurity risk early and prior to exploitation
