Jeremy Linden, senior director, product management at Asimily and Robert Harbick, information security engineer at Southcoast Health, recently co-presented the Webinar Wednesday session “Two Approaches to IoMT Vulnerability Management.” The webinar was eligible for 1 credit from the ACI. It was sponsored by Asimily.
The objective of the webinar was to share information about the similarities and differences in these solutions, how to effectively use each one, and how Southcoast has integrated the two solutions to achieve superior results compared to either alone.
Attendees will now be able to:
- Understand the difference between the approach of traditional vulnerability management solutions and IoMT passive network monitoring
- Know where the traditional VM approach works and falls short for connected medical devices
- Integrate traditional VM and IoMT passive monitoring together in a vulnerability management program
The presenters also field questions from attendees during the webinar. One question was, “Is segmentation a good solution for empty vulnerability management?”
The answer was yes – to a degree.
“In the end, segmentation, at best, will reduce the blast radius of an attack, right? It’s going to mean that, in a successful attack, it is a lot less successful than it would be, and that’s very important,” Linden explained. “But it’s not a substitute for actually remediating the specific issues, right? And actually reducing the inherent risk and the likelihood of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. So, I would say, you know, some segmentation is good.”
The duo expanded on the answer and replied to other queries during the webinar. The entire session along with the Q&A can be viewed on demand at WebinarWednesday.live.
The webinar was a big hit with attendees providing feedback via a survey that included the question, “How does the HTM industry benefit from Webinar Wednesdays?”
“Learning passive and active vulnerabilities on IOMT,” said Arondo Bia, supervisory biomedical equipment specialist.
“It is a resource for learning and advancing the knowledge base of the community,” said Marion Quijano, BMET III.
“Discussions from all over allow people to bounce ideas and knowledge off each other,” MedDevice Cybersecurity Analyst Scott Keith said.
