Medical devices are an essential element of patient care. They’re also network-connected devices that need resilient connectivity and security. On today’s Tech Bytes we examine the challenges of supporting and security connected medical devices, including threats, vulnerabilities, and regulatory frameworks. We’ll also discuss strategies and best practices to manage medical device risks and ensure the confidentiality of patient data. We’re sponsored by Strata by Palo Alto Networks. Our guest is Tapan Mehta, Global Leader, Healthcare Strategy & Solutions at Palo Alto Networks.

In today's healthcare landscape, it is crucial to prioritize the security of medical devices, safeguard patient data, and maintain the seamless operation of medical facilities. The integrity of these healthcare IT systems directly impacts patient care and overall public health. With the increasing reliance on technology in the medical sector, ensuring robust cybersecurity measures is paramount to mitigate potential risks and protect sensitive information. Partnering with a technology partner like HRCT will give you the peace of mind that your technology is secure and being monitored 24/7. 757.760.3499 | hrct.net #networksecurity #IT #ITsolutions #managedservices #databackups

Cybersecurity is a critically important element of running a medical practice today, but like most important things, it comes at a cost. A rising cost. And with the increase in frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks, that cost is unlikely to fall. When we talk about the rising cost of #healthcare, we can’t ignore what feeds it. https://bit.ly/4hiNeZi

Now available: 'The State of CPS Security Report: Healthcare 2023' by Claroty uncovers concerning data regarding connected medical devices. In the report, lead author, Chen Fradkin, shares that #Team82 researchers found 63% of CISA-tracked Known Exploited Vulnerabilities on #healthcare networks, and that 23% of medical devices have at least one KEV. 📁 Read more key findings and download the report: https://hubs.li/Q02pH5Q80

#AssetIntelligence can be many things. It all comes down to data, and in which perspective we look at the data. One of the many use cases for #Healthcare is to be able to see and understand the utilization of medical equipment. We’ve been running multiple #TestDrives during the last year with medical teams in the Nordics, where this use case always is eye opening. Armis provides the necessary visibility and contextual data to monitor the usage patterns of medical devices. This then enables optimization of resource allocation, capital planning and essential maintenance. See below for an example of this usecase, how this usecase is presented and mapped out! #Cybersecurity Hampus Hedvall
