The Webinar Wednesday presentation “Finding Your Phase of Medical Device Security with Nuvolo and Cynerio” was sponsored by Cynerio and eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
Most health care environments contain thousands of OT, IoT and IoMT devices that vastly improve patient care. The devices also introduce significant new cybersecurity risks. Unfortunately, securing these devices with traditional IT approaches has become an unachievable challenge. In order to protect patients and the facilities providing care, new approaches and technologies must be adopted and integrated with in-place systems.
In the webinar, Chad Holmes, security evangelist at Cynerio, and Dustin Smith, executive solution consultant at Nuvolo, discussed common phases of securing connected devices in health care environments, key activities in each phase, and steps that can be taken to start improving cybersecurity practices immediately. From assessing risk to automating inventory, and finally improving monitoring and response activities, the session provided a clear roadmap for attendees.
The webinar also included a question-and-answer segment were attendees could obtain additional expert insights. One question was about using a CMMS for better security practices. The presenters said it is usually a rather quick process.
Another question asked about what steps can be taken when funding is not available.
The presenters suggested speaking with vendors because they can sometimes share solutions that other customers have used and are often willing to work with you to find a solution.
The complete question-and-answer session is available in the on-demand recording of the webinar at WebinarWednesday.live.
Attendees provided feedback about the webinar in a survey that included the question, “What does Webinar Wednesday provide the industry?”
“Great value and information on hot topics that apply to our HTM industry,” Manager Shannon Dingus said.
“The technologies at HTM evolve rapidly and all HTMs learn these trends in a timely manner. The TechNation webinar series fills these gaps for HTMs,” said Tedd Koh, MET, Olive View UCLA Medical Center.
“Good general knowledge, lots of topics that explain what is happening in the field of health care,” said Glenn Fraser, CBET, Stanford Children’s Healthcare.
“These webinars give a lot of insight to facets of biomed support that are frequently overlooked by the engineering management that is more interested in plumbing solutions than software security,” said David Green, system designer with Square One Industries.
