For the NHS, IoT devices present huge potential benefits for patient care, automation and innovation. Today, it's estimated that nearly half of all medical devices are "connected" in some way, with this number predicted to rise to 68% by 2023. The number of medical devices also continues to grow.
Asset management and utilisation continues to pose a challenge for the NHS but as more and more devices become connected they also represent a security challenge, there have been several high profile cases
primarily in the US where recalls due to security flaws have shown that vulnerabilities in healthcare IoT hardware could potentially have life-and-death implications.
In response to these challenges one of the key updates to the Data Security and Protection Toolkit for the 2021-22 standard was to include connected medical devices within the technical requirements. With a
specific aim towards improvements around unsupported operating systems and asset criticality assessment.
Traditional medical asset management solutions lack the prevention and enforcement capabilities required to manage these security risks and traditional IoT security technologies lack the visibility and utilisation
reporting required to operate in a healthcare setting.
By marrying our world leading prevention and enforcement technology with ML-powered detection and inspection Palo Alto Networks IoT security provides complete visibility, prevention, enforcement and utilisation in a single platform.
In this webinar we will discuss:
• Unit 42 - Healthcare threat briefing
• DSPT - How to address the new requirements
• How to gain complete asset visibility
• Identify and prevent vulnerabilities and threats across your IoT estate
• How to incorporate IoT into a zero trust methodology
• Operational insights to give biomedical and clinical engineering teams visibility into how, when and where medical devices on their network are being used
We look forward to seeing you there!
