Overview
Security incidents like ransomware and performance issues like unexpected downtime can negatively affect healthcare providers and patient outcomes.
Reducing this risk requires Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDOs) to have complete visibility across their network, from medical and IoT devices to applications and users. When this visibility is combined with real-time detection and streamlined investigation, providers can quickly identify and respond to cyber risks in data centers, public clouds, and remote clinics before they impact patient outcomes.
Challenges
Advanced healthcare IT promises to improve efficiency, accuracy, and patient outcomes. However, this growing complexity also introduces significant security and performance risks, making it more difficult to align with regulatory frameworks.
To safeguard healthcare IT systems and the protected health information (PHI) they contain, HDOs must align with regulations such as the HIPAA Security Rule, HHS 405(b), HITECH guidelines, Payment Card Industry Security Standards (PCI DSS), the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR) rules, and more.
Reducing the likelihood and impact of successful ransomware attacks is made more difficult due to coverage gaps, especially related to blind spots in east-west and encrypted network traffic in complex healthcare IT environments.
With a dizzying number of connected devices, databases, software, and remote workstations, healthcare IT networks contain multiple points of potential failure as they expand the attack surface.
The inability to identify and monitor all devices and software on the network creates inefficiencies, unnecessary redundancies, and inflated costs.
As more HDOs and patients take advantage of the speed and convenience of telehealth, providers need to quickly identify security vulnerabilities and performance issues in difficult-to-monitor telehealth environments.
As HDOs seek to improve efficiency and reduce risk, they can struggle with gaps in security coverage and operational visibility. Network intelligence across deployment environments is foundational to mitigating risk and ensuring availability.
