3rd Place at MedGuard 360: Hack the Cure!
Description
🎉 Excited to share that our team—Wael Rdifi, Ahmed Rayen Ayari, Ale Naoui, Wiem, and I—secured 3rd place at MedGuard 360: Hack the Cure! 🌟
This wasn’t just any hackathon—it was an overnight, high-energy sprint where technology and healthcare collided to address critical cybersecurity challenges in the biomedical space. Held at the SMU Campus on November 23-24, MedGuard 360 brought together passionate minds from various disciplines, all working towards a common goal: securing the future of healthcare.
Our mission was to design and secure a state-of-the-art healthcare facility for MedSecure Hospitals, integrating cutting-edge medical devices, AI-powered tools, and advanced robotics. The challenge was to ensure the system was impenetrable, compliant with regulations, and resilient against evolving cyber threats.
Our Solution
Secure Network Architecture
We designed a robust and secure network architecture to ensure seamless communication between life-saving devices and critical systems. Here’s a glimpse of our solution:
Our secure network architecture designed for MedSecure Hospitals.
Key Features
- Secure Network Design: Ensuring robust communication between life-saving devices and critical systems.
