CDRH has released for comment a discussion paper, “Strengthening Cybersecurity Practices Associated with Servicing of Medical Devices: Challenges and Opportunities,” seeking input from groups and individuals outside FDA on the shared responsibility. Four areas identified in the [paper](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/quality-and-compliance-medical-devices/discussion-paper-strengthening-cybersecurity-practices-associated-servicing-medical-devices?ref=fdaweb.com) are privileged access, identification of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and incidents, prevention and mitigation of cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and product lifecycle challenges and opportunities.

FDA has scheduled a 7/27 Webinar on that discussion paper and on a recent draft guidance on remanufacturing of medical devices.

A Webinar [notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/workshops-conferences-medical-devices/webinar-remanufacturing-medical-devices-draft-guidance-and-strengthening-cybersecurity-practices?ref=fdaweb.com) says it **(1)** will help clarify whether activities performed on devices are likely remanufacturing, **(2)** is intended to convey the agency’s current thinking on applicable definitions and clarify the regulatory requirements applicable to remanufacturers, and **(3)** will outline specific cybersecurity challenges and opportunities associated with medical device servicing.
