12 Ways Armis Underpins Medical Device Security and Patient Safety in Healthcare

When it comes to the security and management of connected medical devices and the digital assets proliferating across the patient journey, healthcare organizations face significant challenges. Information security teams need the right mix of capabilities to protect every device and ensure compliance. And clinical engineering teams need to ensure that the patient care delivery process goes off without a hitch.
