Visibility and Security Across the Entire Medical Fleet
Armis Centrix™ gives healthcare delivery organizations visibility and security across their entire ecosystem, from the complex medical devices that deliver patient care to the smart systems and infrastructure in their buildings. Real-time asset inventories, vulnerability prioritization, and integrations enable you to keep your environment protected now and into the future.
Connected Devices Are Increasing Your Attack Surface—and Organizational Risks
Visibility Challenges in the Healthcare Environment
Navigating visibility challenges in the healthcare environment requires overcoming the complexities of diverse interconnected systems, medical devices, and data flows.
Balancing Security and Patient Care
Robust security practices, such as regular software updates and patches, might require temporary device downtime, potentially impacting critical medical procedures. Healthcare practitioners must navigate the tension between implementing security measures to protect patient data and maintaining the availability of essential medical devices to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
Heterogenous Device Landscape
The healthcare environment is characterized by a diverse range of interconnected devices, often developed by different manufacturers with varying security protocols. This diversity complicates efforts to achieve comprehensive visibility and security, as each device may require distinct monitoring and protection strategies.
Legacy Technologies
Clinical engineering within healthcare institutions often deals with legacy medical equipment that lacks contemporary cybersecurity features. Securing a network while integrating these devices and ensuring their continued functionality presents a significant hurdle.
Forensic Insight With Armis
Asset visibility is crucial to security teams and clinical engineers because it provides a comprehensive understanding of the medical device ecosystem’s composition and behavior.
Visibility for Clinical Engineers and Security Teams
By providing rich data, Armis Centrix™ enables security teams to track their devices via an automated inventory, reconstruct events, understand attack vectors, and assess the impact of cyber incidents on medical devices and patient care. Simultaneously, Armis Centrix™ is capable of monitoring usage, behavior, and compliance of every asset in the ecosystem, alerting you whenever a problem or anomaly arises.
Security Throughout Your Organization
Securing the healthcare environment involves more than just specialized medical devices. It includes everything from MRIs to the HVAC.
Security Across the Medical and Clinical Environment
Cybersecurity across the medical and clinical environment is a multifaceted effort aimed at safeguarding patient data, medical devices, and interconnected systems from cyber threats. Armis Centrix™ enables security teams to see every asset in their environment, regardless of device type, and empowers them to secure those devices with up-to-date information and real-time monitoring that doesn’t disrupt the devices they are protecting.
