- Regional hospital system recognized for prestigious industry award, reinforcing its commitment to cyber excellence
SAN FRANCISCO – June 18, 2024 – Armis, the asset intelligence cybersecurity company, today announced Main Line Health is leveraging the Armis Centrix™ platform for full visibility and control over all connected assets within its hospital system as it drives operational innovation to advance patient safety.
With multiple hospitals and facilities, Main Line Health has a vast network of IT, IoT and IoMT assets. Through Armis Centrix™, the hospital system quickly identified 2x more than previously estimated – including biomedical devices. Utilizing two solutions from Armis, Armis Centrix™ for Medical Device Security and Armis Centrix™ for Vulnerability Prioritization and Remediation, Main Line Health has been able to build a more cohesive security ecosystem and automate compliance. This has also driven increased awareness within the organization about the importance of cyber resiliency initiatives that boost greater operational efficiency while minimizing clinical disruption.
“Armis is an integral part of Main Line Health’s cybersecurity program, providing unparalleled visibility into every asset and device within our environment,” said Aaron Weismann, Chief Information Security Officer at Main Line Health. “As a hospital system dedicated to delivering safe, high-quality, equitable and affordable care to treat and cure disease, Armis allows us to focus on what truly matters.”
Rapidly evolving care models, combined with the accelerated adoption of technology, have increased the attack surface for healthcare organizations. In the U.S. alone, ransomware attacks in healthcare were up 128% from 2022 to 2023, reinforcing the need for a comprehensive cyber resilience strategy.
“Armis understands the unique cybersecurity challenges within the healthcare industry, including safeguarding valuable data, ensuring continuity of care and preventing disruptive attacks that put patients – and the organization – at risk,” said Mohammad Waqas, CTO, Healthcare at Armis. “We congratulate Main Line Health for its recent award recognition in cybersecurity excellence as it improves patient safety and treatment outcomes by enhancing cyber resilience.”
The AI-powered Armis Centrix™ platform proactively mitigates all cyber asset risks, remediates vulnerabilities, blocks threats and protects the entire attack surface.
