FORTIFY YOUR MEDICAL DEVICE CYBERSECURITY STRATEGY AGAINST EVOLVING THREATS

Defending against cyberattacks is a daily reality for your health system. Cyber-criminals using sophisticated and advanced technologies like artificial intelligence pose a growing threat to patient care and safety. These attacks drain financial resources, erode reputation & patient trust, and cripple clinical operations. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities can be found in every aspect of healthcare technology, including medical devices.

The risks to medical device cybersecurity are increasing dramatically as hospital inventories become more integrated with online networks. With this trend, the link between cybersecurity, medical device maintenance, and truly effective capital planning has grown more important than ever. While biomedical engineering teams and IT departments have often operated separately, a much more coordinated effort is now essential. Hospital administrators, CIOs, CISOs, and biomedical technicians are all forced to take an active role in understanding healthcare medical device cybersecurity threats to help protect their organizations.

Bridging the Visibility Gap

Disconnected and incomplete information sources are a major hurdle for establishing responsive medical device cybersecurity strategies. Inaccuracies in device inventories and monitoring activity can create false alerts, misidentifying the level of risk, the nature of concerning behavior, or even the potentially affected devices and technology. Cybersecurity and IT professionals commonly report up to 50% of medical device vulnerabilities are false alerts.3 This significant quantity of false alerts can create alert fatigue and reduce responsiveness to real risks and breaches. Vulnerabilities exist in virtually every piece of technology in a health system, so having a full and accurate understanding of the real risk these vulnerabilities present is essential to managing the most significant risks that an organization faces.

Comprehensive, Effective Cybersecurity Solutions

evolve-sqA true clinical asset management strategy must incorporate a comprehensive understanding of medical device inventories, the relevant vulnerabilities for each device, and the risk these vulnerabilities pose. Combining full visibility with standardized processes drives efficient remediation and capital planning, bringing clinical engineering, IT, and finance together. 

The TRIMEDX CYBER solution combines our expertise in maintaining and managing medical device inventories with expansive data on cybersecurity vulnerabilities, real-time monitoring, dynamic risk scoring, and remediation of cyber vulnerabilities. You can quickly identify a vulnerability and, just as importantly, know what you need to do to resolve it with this integrated cybersecurity ecosystem and real-time monitoring, management, and remediation. TRIMEDX data and technology, an expert CYBER support team, and cybersecurity training mean you can consistently monitor vulnerabilities, quickly identify unusual behavior, and implement remediation strategies for true closed-loop remediation.

WHITE PAPER

ESTABLISHING A MATURE MEDICAL DEVICE CYBERSECURITY PROGRAM

Health systems are devoting more resources than ever to protecting themselves against cyberattacks. However, a mature cybersecurity program must incorporate robust processes for managing medical devices, which can be a major security blind spot in healthcare. Health systems can apply specific strategies with their device inventories to build a stronger foundation for cybersecurity maturity and make resources more impactful in protecting their patients, staff, and facilities.

Medical Device Inventory and Risk Monitoring

The TRIMEDX CYBER solution capitalizes on our Clinical Engineering solution to build a thorough understanding of the unique risk factors that are influenced by a health system’s inventory and operational needs. 

  • Equipment maintenance: The risk to a device from a vulnerability and the potential consequence of failure
  • Mission critical status: The risk a device failure or breach poses to patient care activity and the potential impact on patient safety
  • FDA alerts and recalls: TRIMEDX’s integrated support functions include notifications for FDA alerts and manufacturer recalls, including automated work orders where necessary, as well as potential cybersecurity impacts

We also employ some of the most comprehensive resources for identifying vulnerabilities and monitoring anomalous behavior. 

  • Real-time Monitoring: Our technology partners integrate directly with the TRIMEDX CYBER solution to provide advanced behavioral profiles and advanced monitoring of network-connected devices with AI
  • Proprietary content library: A continually updated compilation of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and validated OEM software patches

Dynamic Risk Score

All of these factors inform the TRIMEDX Dynamic Risk Score, which is the only medical device cybersecurity risk scoring tool that incorporates AI-monitoring sources and machine-learning capable algorithms to automatically update with new vulnerabilities, changes in network connectivity, and prescribe actions to remediate a risk. By taking a full view of the status of medical device inventories and cybersecurity vulnerabilities, the Dynamic Risk Score provides actionable information tailored to fit each health system’s unique priorities and risk posture.
