As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, CDRH is marking the 10th anniversary of its cybersecurity program with an online [post](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-devices-news-and-events/cdrh-recognizes-10-year-anniversary-cybersecurity-program-and-continued-steps-help-ensure-medical?ref=fdaweb.com) highlighting ways in which the program has contributed to patient safety in the last decade. CDRH Office of Strategic Partnerships and Technology Innovation director **Suzanne Schwartz** says the activities were:

- 17 safety alerts issued;
- 479 vulnerabilities identified;
- 13 cybersecurity issues managed;
- 31 cybersecurity resources produced;
- 68 cybersecurity-related recalls issued; and
- 6 cybersecurity team members added.

Schwartz also highlights a recent final [guidance](https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/cybersecurity-medical-devices-quality-system-considerations-and-content-premarket-submissions?ref=fdaweb.com), *Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions*, that has recommendations on cybersecurity considerations for devices, as well as recommendations for documentation in device premarket submissions. She says the agency is planning an 11/2 webinar on the guidance.
