a5c-ai Cybersecurity Risk Assessor Skill
Purpose
The Cybersecurity Risk Assessor Skill evaluates cybersecurity risks for medical devices per FDA guidance and IEC 81001-5-1, supporting threat modeling, vulnerability assessment, and security control implementation.
Capabilities
- Threat modeling (STRIDE methodology)
- Vulnerability assessment
- SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generation
- Security control identification
- Penetration testing planning
- Cybersecurity documentation for FDA submissions
- Attack surface analysis
- Security architecture review
- Coordinated vulnerability disclosure planning
- Postmarket cybersecurity management
- Patch management planning
Usage Guidelines
