Visibility Challenges in the Healthcare Environment
Total technology ecosystem visibility in healthcare requires overcoming the complexities of diverse interconnected systems, IT assets, medical devices, and data flows.
Balancing Security and Patient Care
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
Every healthcare environment is supported by a diverse range of interconnected devices, developed by different manufacturers with varying security protocols. This makes comprehensive visibility and security complicated, as each device may require distinct monitoring and protection strategies.
Legacy Technologies
Clinical Engineers and Healthcare Technology Management are responsible for maintaining life-critical medical equipment within healthcare institutions. These often legacy devices can lack sufficient cybersecurity features that address today’s threats. This presents a significant challenge in ensuring the continued functionality and security of devices.
