Securing the Next Generation of Connected Care

Connected medical devices help clinicians deliver faster, higher quality care, but they also create an attack surface that most healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) aren’t prepared to protect. These devices lack inherent security controls, they can’t easily receive software updates, and they can’t be seen or managed by traditional security products. All of this puts sensitive data, day-to-day facility operations, and patient safety at risk.

You can’t protect what you can’t see

Many IoMT, IoT and OT devices cannot have agents installed, making them all but invisible to traditional security teams. Most organizations don’t have an up to date or complete asset inventory, no understanding of how effectively assets are being utilized and no understanding of the attack surface that is exposed. This creates a large, mostly unmonitored cyber-attack surface that bad actors are successfully exploiting today. Silo’d ownership between operations, security and biomedical engineering teams often creates a disconnected approach to device management and security.
