IT Security & OT Security in medical networks

    macmon NAC & SDP for Critical Infrastructure in Healthcare

    [Translate to English:] macmon Branchenloesung Gesundheit

    macmon secure is a reliable partner for monitoring and securing critical infrastructure in the healthcare sector. macmon's products follow the zero-trust approach and make no compromises when it comes to protecting sensitive patient, research, or donor data.

    IT networks that integrate medical devices are becoming medical networks - which means that IT networks are now also medical networks in almost all hospitals. They have requirements from IT and OT security as well as industry-specific characteristics.

     

    Modern medical devices are increasingly expected to have a network connection so that doctors can access digital results, e.g. from imaging procedures, anytime and anywhere. This usually forces IT departments to integrate previously separate networks. This results in greater efficiency and time savings, so that more patients can be treated in less time. However, the convergence of systems also creates new risks, as the new interfaces can also become gateways for attackers. Cyber incidents in hospitals and other healthcare providers are increasingly making headlines. System failures have serious consequences in the healthcare sector and, in the worst case, can cost lives.

     

    Medical networks and systems must therefore guarantee high availability. A robust, cyber-resilient security concept is required. The security solutions from macmon secure provide a basis for a holistic cybersecurity approach in the healthcare sector.

    macmon NAC to secure your healthcare IT-network

    DIN EN 80001 applies to medical IT networks. The integration of medical devices increases the complexity as well as the dangers and risks. By defining general requirements for medical networks, in particular for risk management, essential properties such as explicit availability and the protection of confidential data have to be achieved. Several special features in networks in the healthcare industry therefore require strategic protective measures, to which macmon contributes with its diverse protection mechanisms.
