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
This lack of visibility means that most organizations don’t have an up to date or complete asset inventory, and they have no understanding of how effectively assets are being utilized or how the attack surface is exposed. Siloed ownership between operations, security and biomedical engineering teams often creates a disconnected approach to device management and security. Together these factors create a large, mostly unmonitored cyber-attack surface that bad actors are successfully exploiting today.
