Examination: Monitor, Record, and safeguard your healthcare setting
Healthcare organisations are increasingly facing a plethora of cybersecurity challenges, from vulnerabilities in computers and mobile devices to unique threats posed by sensors, scanners, and medical equipment. Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1, a specialized cybersecurity solution, is designed to address these issues, providing advanced device visibility, security controls, and threat mitigation tailored for clinical settings.
Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1 offers comprehensive device discovery and classification, identifying and profiling all connected medical devices, clinical equipment, and IoT in the healthcare network. This feature ensures an accurate inventory, including devices with legacy or proprietary operating systems.
The platform's behavioural analytics and risk scoring use AI/ML-based algorithms to monitor device behaviour continuously, detect anomalies or unusual activities indicative of security threats, and assign risk scores to prioritise vulnerabilities. Real-time threat detection and automated response enable swift action against suspicious activities, with automated controls to quarantine or isolate affected devices to prevent the spread of malware or ransomware.
Policy enforcement and segmentation support granular security policies for different classes of clinical and IT devices, restricting unauthorized communication and limiting access to sensitive data or systems. Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1 also integrates seamlessly with existing network security tools, SIEM, and healthcare operational systems to provide contextualized threat intelligence and streamlined incident response.
Compliance and audit reporting generate comprehensive reports that help healthcare organisations meet regulatory requirements specific to patient data protection, such as HIPAA. These reports can also be valuable in budgetary planning, providing evidence about future needs and requirements.
Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1 can act as the cornerstone for all cybersecurity activities in a healthcare environment. It provides continuous defense by monitoring for attack tools, suspicious communications, lateral movement, and beaconing behaviours to detect ongoing attacks. Post-attack updates automatically update policies and playbooks after an attack to prevent future incursions.
Moreover, Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1 can be used to improve operational efficiency in healthcare environments. Users can sort devices based on type, location, function, priority, or other criteria, and can view detailed information about each device. The insights gained from Clinical Defender reports can also be used for maintenance planning, like identifying devices requiring increased maintenance or the need for additional devices to share the load.
Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1 can provide usage details about devices across fleets, within specific locations and departments, and for individual pieces of equipment. It uses passive scanning and collects data using virtual or hardware-based sensors, application programming interface integrations, NetFlow, or its own Software Inventory Collector.
In summary, Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1 provides healthcare organisations with comprehensive visibility, intelligent threat detection, automated response, and robust policy enforcement, all tailored to the complex and sensitive clinical environments. This combination is vital for protecting patient safety, critical healthcare operations, and compliance requirements. By enhancing cybersecurity and operational efficiency, Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1 is a valuable asset for healthcare organisations navigating the evolving cybersecurity landscape.
- Incorporating advanced AI/ML-based algorithms, Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1 not only identifies and classifies various medical devices and clinical equipment, but also monitors their behavior, pinpointing medical-conditions like unusual activities or security threats, thereby enhancing the cybersecurity of healthcare organizations.
- With the capability to improve operational efficiency, Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1 can help healthcare organizations navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape by providing insights about devices through features like comprehensive device discovery, intelligent reporting, and easy device sorting, thus optimizing science and technology within medical-conditions settings.
