Just like the best way to limit the spread of disease among people is to practice social distancing, the best way to protect your medical devices is to separate, or segment them, from each other. Think of healthcare network segmentation as social distancing for medical devices.
IoMT cybersecurity tailor-made for healthcare organizations protects patient safety with deep knowledge of clinical communications
After a long and grueling procurement process, your hospital finally receives a new supply of ventilators. Along with the devices, the vendor also sends along bundles of booklets: troubleshooting manuals, warranty information, and every Biomed and Clinical Engineer's favorite go-to doc: the device's MDS2 form.
To help shed some light on medical device security lifecycles and to help adapt to unforeseeable changes in the healthcare industry, Cynerio partnered with the Biomed/CE publication, TechNation, and led a webinar on the essential ins and outs of managing the medical device security lifecycle. Here’s a quick peek at the highlights.
