Network Segmentation for Healthcare
Traditionally, healthcare technology networks are often flat with few network policies in place. This contributes to the scale of attacks seen in healthcare organizations, with widespread attacks impacting multiple hospitals and clinics. The more connected medical devices become, the more the attack surface expands.
Most medical devices have limited ability to install protection measures like antivirus or encryption. In the absence of standard security controls, effective network segmentation becomes an essential line of defense for these sensitive devices. What’s more, network segmentation can be an extremely complex, expensive, and lengthy process. A lack of accurate device and clinical context can contribute to massive amounts of downtime if network segmentation is applied incorrectly.
Armis Centrix™ for Medical Device Security manages every device, spanning IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT, providing comprehensive protection tactics for every risk factor in your environment. Network Segmentation, as part of a broader Attack Surface Management, is critical for properly securing medical, IoT, and other devices. Armis supports healthcare organizations throughout the entire lifecycle of a network segmentation project.
