Protecting Medical Devices Throughout Their Lifetime with Joe Gullo, Commercial Sales Leader at Red Balloon Security

Medical devices can no longer be secured once at launch and left alone. 

In this episode, Joe Gullo, Commercial Sales Leader at Red Balloon Security, discusses how the company protects connected devices while they are running. Recorded live at the MedTech Conference, Joe explains how Red Balloon embeds a lightweight code called Symbiote into device firmware to monitor memory and tasks, and block rogue processes before they cause harm. He shares how the company's work with ARPA-H's UPGRADE program is opening doors across the medical device industry, and why AI is shrinking the time attackers need to find and exploit a vulnerability. Joe also explains why FDA expectations for lifetime security mean a one-time cybersecurity check is no longer enough, and how runtime protection can reduce emergency patching and free engineers to focus on improving products.
