Healthcare organizations face a challenging cybersecurity environment, with numerous connected devices, applications and users they must manage on their networks to support patient care. A smart hospital bed or an infusion pump may have vulnerabilities that can become attack vectors, offering a bridge into the core network.
This complex network environment can also make it difficult to implement advanced security approaches such as zero trust, since the risk of cutting off critical medical devices from backend databases and other assets is extremely high.
A sophisticated network detection and response platform with the ability to monitor devices by the traffic they generate, such as ExtraHop Reveal(x), can go the distance to protect healthcare networks and offer a strong foundation for zero-trust security.
