Challenges of Monitoring Devices in Healthcare
Limited Visibility
Because of the unique and sensitive nature of many medical devices, discovering every asset is a traditionally difficult task. Monitoring those devices post-discovery is even more difficult, specifically if the device is unagented or unmanaged.
Non-Disruptive Monitoring
Many device monitoring tools rely on invasive scanning to gather information about the devices they are monitoring. However, invasive scanning of medical devices can cause disruptions to patient care and has to be avoided, leaving many devices unmonitored.
Unique Devices
Healthcare delivery organizations have access to unique devices that are hard to monitor without a baseline knowledge of their intended operation or lifecycle. Hospitals may only have single instances of some devices, like MRIs, and may not notice anomalous behavior without more data to draw from.
Continuous Care
Ensuring that the devices delivering care continue to operate is a key responsibility of healthcare security teams.
Monitoring Without Disruption
Comprehensive IT and medical device monitoring ensures that medical devices and other critical systems remain operational, secured and available for patient care. Armis Centrix™ for Medical Device Security collects detailed information, ensures security and compliance of those devices, without disruption or compromising care.
Asset Behavior Monitoring and Baselines
Armis Centrix™ compares data from your devices against a database of billions of assets to assess behavior against global baselines.
Context for Device Behaviors
Armis Asset Intelligence Engine compares device behavior against expected baselines so you can understand how your device is acting in the context of similar devices.
