Challenge of Securing Hard to Patch Servers in Healthcare Environments
Thursday, 25th January 2007
Published by:  Beyond the standard set of IT security concerns that most IT departments must confront, many of the systems utilized in healthcare not only require special vulnerability management efforts but also fall under the auspices of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which complicates things further. Another pain point specific to the industry is the proliferation of embedded systems or medical devices that operate with their own unique set of security challenges. This paper includes information on how a patch protection gateway can be a solution that protects the underlying applications of an embedded system without tuning, without requiring an agent or intrusive software to be installed, and without compromising the availability of critical medical infrastructure. |
