Medical Devices
Unauthorized access or disrupt of medical devices operations may risk patient safety and data integrity.
Strategy Overview
The healthcare industry relies heavily on connected devices to deliver patient care and operate hospital systems. These devices, ranging from infusion pumps and MRIs to video cameras and HVAC systems, are vulnerable to cyberattacks such as ransomware. Additionally, these devices often contain protected healthcare information (PHI) that must be secured.
To ensure patient safety and protect these devices from abuse, healthcare organizations need a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. This strategy should secure every connected medical device and any device containing PHI or Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Given the proliferation of connected devices, developing a robust cybersecurity strategy that addresses all security requirements related to PHI can be challenging. However, with the right tools and methodologies, organizations can effectively protect against attacks, ensuring they meet and exceed the necessary data security and privacy standards for PHI and PII in healthcare.
Cybersecurity Challenges in the Healthcare Industry
The HHS defines a data breach as any unauthorized use or disclosure under the Privacy Rule that compromises the security or privacy of Protected Health Information (PHI).
