The recent Webinar Wednesday presentation “Left To Our Own Devices – Will We Implement Best Practices?” sponsored by Medigate by Claroty was eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
The majority of HDOs are not securing medical devices. They simply do not understand why these devices are different. The new HHS 405(d) Health Industry Cybersecurity Practice publication recommends modifications that need to be applied to traditional techniques, procedures and practices. Ty Greenhalgh, Healthcare Industry Principal with Medigate by Claroty, and Mike Luessi, GM Global Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry Business at ServiceNow, provided an overview of these best practices and how these best practices operationalize medical device security data. They aligned them with initiatives moving toward and discussed how end users in clinical engineering are impacted.
The webinar also included a question-and-answer session that is available as part of an on-demand recording. The recording may be viewed at WebinarWednesday.live.
Attendees provided feedback via a survey that included the question, “What was your single biggest takeaway from today’s webinar?”
