Visibility Challenges in the Healthcare Environment
Device visibility challenges in healthcare requires overcoming the complexities of diverse interconnected systems, IT assets, 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.
Diverse 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 that address today’s threats. Securing a converged network that contains a multitude of life critical devices and activities while ensuring their continued functionality presents a significant challenge.
Comprehensive Situational Awareness 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
Armis Centrix⢠for Medical Device Security enables security teams to see and track devices via an automated inventory, reconstruct events, understand attack vectors, and assess the impact of unaddressed vulnerabilities on medical devices and patient care. Simultaneously monitor usage, behavior, and compliance of every asset in the ecosystem and across your security stack.
