Talk Title:  Cyber Security and Cloud Based Digital Health Platform

Abstract:
Ubiquitous connectivity has made information available to everyone and increased the risk of losing valuable information in the sea of connected devices.
Cyber security incidents in healthcare rose by 63% between 2020 and 2025, with cloud misconfigurations and credential theft accounting for over 40% of breaches reported to the FDA’s post market surveillance system.
In 2025, the FDA mandated routine vulnerability monitoring and patching for “cyber devices,” impacting approximately 80% of newly submitted SaMDs due to their cloud connectivity, wireless communications, or network interfaces.
Cyber Security as a discipline has manifested in the last decade to protect valuable information assets that belong to individuals and organizations.  In parallel Cloud based software has emerged in the last decade and all software enabled devices are connecting to the Cloud infrastructure.  Cyber Security and Cloud based software development have evolved in unison.  In this talk, will discuss the Cyber Security standards and a case study project that involves management of user health information using Cloud based Digital Health Platform.

Dear ASQ Silicon Valley Quality Professionals,

Welcome to 2025—a year of groundbreaking advancements in quantum computing, yet also a stark reminder of climate change’s impact. Experiencing freezing temperatures in Florida during my recent visit to the University of Florida and witnessing ongoing wildfires in California underscores the urgency of sustainable solutions.

ASQ Silicon Valley remains committed to supporting emerging technologies and cleantech for a sustainable future. I want to recognize each of you for your contributions to our section’s success. 2024 was marked by two major initiatives—the Inaugural Cleantech Conference and the Fireside Leadership Summit. For 2025, I’m pleased to announce our leadership updates: Congratulations to Aruna Ghildiyal, our new Program Chair, and welcome to Alan Wang and Dr. Pegah Mottaghizadeh as new core committee members. Vern Saini will continue as Operations Chair.

Looking ahead, we will elevate our annual Cleantech Conference and Fireside Summit while continuing our flagship Technical Speaker Series (Tech Talk), which attracts 60+ attendees per session. With over 2,000 ASQ members and 5,000+ quality professionals in the Bay Area, we provide a vibrant platform for networking and professional growth in emerging technologies. Let’s push boundaries, share knowledge, and foster leadership development to drive innovation and quality excellence in 2025.

Thank you, and I look forward to another impactful year together.
