[WHITEPAPER] Operational Technology Security and the IoMT: Protecting your patients, privacy, and equipment

Sponsored by Nuvolo

Although 80% of healthcare systems in a recent HIMSS Market Intelligence survey report concerns regarding security attacks to medical devices, 77% surveyed don’t include security for operational technology (OT) devices like MRI machines and other medical devices belonging to the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) in their IT budgets at all. This presents a serious security risk. Bridging the gap between operations and security teams can help organizations contain the risk and protect patients’ data.

This white paper examines how:

• Unsecured medical devices belonging to the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) create vulnerabilities for healthcare systems
• The HIMSS Market Intelligence survey showed a disconnect between concern over security attacks to medical devices and budget allocations for IoMT/IoT device security
• Nuvolo’s three-step process can help healthcare organizations protect their OT devices and bridge the communications gap between departments
