In the development of technology to prevent defibrillators, pacemakers and other connected medical devices from being maliciously hacked, Dundalk start-up Nova Leah is leading the field globally.

It has been first to market with an intelligent software tool which can carry out a risk assessment and ensure that manufacturing companies produce devices which comply with cyber-security requirements set out by regulatory bodies. Since launching on the market in June last year, it has been targeting the $133bn US medical device market.
