Visibility, Insights, & Anomaly Detection
The explosive growth of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has created unprecedented challenges for healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs). Tracking, managing, and protecting these constantly moving devices can create operational inefficiencies and gaps that attackers can exploit. The problem is HDOs don’t have all the information they need about the devices in their environment. Manual data collection processes and general-purpose discovery tools often miss threats and generate incomplete inventories. HDOs need to improve their device data quality and validity, which empowers accurate inventories, risk assessments, and improved security strategies
The core Visibility, Insights, and Anomaly Detection function of the Medigate Device Security Platform (MDSP) discovers and profiles every connected device and analyzes its risks to keep HDOs safe and operating efficiently. With unparalleled accuracy, HDOs have the medical device profiles and contextual risk identification they need to make data-driven management and security decisions that help them better protect and optimize their connected medicine operations.
Key Benefits of Medigate:
Device Discovery & Profiling: Medigate’s combined use of both passive and light-active techniques enables you to see all device traffic. With our compatibility across over 500+ unique device protocols, all the traffic is fully interpreted.
Vulnerability & Risk Management: Device cybersecurity depends on a complex set of factors, and it can be hard to know what the right action is. With a ‘context-aware’ set of detail about each device, the next-step recommendations become useful.
Network Protection: With an accurate device profile, network segmentation becomes a powerful tool. Applying the right policy to the proper device improves the overall security posture of the HDO.
Device Inventory: Using a bi-directional integration, accurate device data is fed dynamically into the HDOs record of truth.
Device Location: By tracking the physical location, it becomes easier for Biomed teams to find the specific device they are looking for, especially those that are lost or missing.
Device Utilization: Through accurate measurement of utilization, more patient care can be done with less devices, which avoids having expensive resources sitting idle
How It Works
Within hours of deployment, through either a network tap or SPAN port, Medigate passively discovers devices and begins providing accurate and granular details on the IoT and IoMT connecting to the network. Using unique deep packet inspection (DPI) techniques, the platform offers data-rich profiles and contextualized risk assessments that give HDOs the most accurate inventories and threat detection available. With Visibility, Insights, and Anomaly Detection, HDOs receive:
Detailed device profiles: Providing over 100 unique device attributes that often go undocumented, such as device IDs, version information, physical location, serially attached devices, vulnerability assessments, network connectivity, and more.
Network communications maps: Documenting inter-device communication relationships so that HDOs can inform decision-making with a communication world map, connection matrix, and VLAN visibility.
Accurate alerts: By identifying risks, including plain text credentials, unencrypted health information (PHI), vulnerabilities, and outdated versions, HDOs can take appropriate steps to protect their operations.
Threat intelligence: Delivering tailored, healthcare-specific indicators of compromise that help HDOs understand and address the risks in their environment.
Vulnerability assessments: Passively assess and correlate IoT and IoMT devices to ascertain current device risk levels without log-in credentials and enable HDOs to plan and prioritize their patch management workflows.
Protect Your Hospital/Medical Center Today
Healthcare delivery organizations need complete visibility into the makeup and potential risks of the devices operating in their environment. The only way to attain the level of detail and insight they require is with a purpose-built solution for healthcare. Medigate has learned the unique languages of clinical devices and does not guess what they’re saying through AI or Machine Learning. Instead, those techniques are used to deliver advanced insights from device data. With Medigate, the data available in all of your connected devices are unlocked, trusted, and the HDO can connect with confidence to accelerate their real-time healthcare initiatives. Contact a ValuTrack technology specialist to learn more about how Medigate can deliver unmatched visibility, protection, and threat detection for your healthcare organization via one comprehensive solution.
Why Invest In Cybersecurity For Your Healthcare Environment?
Why Invest In Cybersecurity For Your Healthcare Environment?
Investing in cybersecurity for healthcare environments is crucial to protect sensitive patient information, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain the trust of patients and stakeholders. With the increasing use of digital technologies and the adoption of electronic health records, healthcare organizations have become a prime target for cyberattacks. A breach of patient data can not only harm patients but also result in costly lawsuits, damage to reputation, and regulatory fines. Implementing robust cybersecurity measures, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular vulnerability assessments, can help prevent cyberattacks and safeguard patient data. It also ensures that healthcare organizations meet regulatory requirements such as HIPAA and GDPR.
- Protect patient data: Implement secure access controls, encrypt data, and regularly monitor systems to prevent data breaches.
- Ensure HIPAA compliance: Regularly review and update policies and procedures to ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations.
- Prevent unauthorized access: Implement strong password policies, restrict access to sensitive areas, and monitor network traffic for any unauthorized activity.
- Protect medical devices: Secure medical devices with firewalls, antivirus software, and regular security updates to prevent hacking or malware infections.
- Safeguard hospital operations: Cybersecurity threats can disrupt hospital operations, leading to canceled appointments, delays in care, and potential harm to patients. Investing in cybersecurity measures such as disaster recovery plans and redundant systems can help safeguard against these threats.
- Protect against ransomware: Regularly update software and educate staff to recognize phishing emails or suspicious attachments to prevent ransomware attacks.
- Protect against reputational damage: A cybersecurity breach can result in significant reputational damage to healthcare organizations, leading to a loss of patient trust and business. Effective cybersecurity measures can help prevent breaches and mitigate the impact in case of an incident, protecting the organization’s reputation.
