Bringing threats to light

Data breaches can profoundly impact an organization’s productivity, finances, quality of care, and reputation. Just let the numbers speak for themselves:

When it comes to cybersecurity, healthcare is different

Unlike other industries, healthcare relies on both information technology (IT) and operational technologies (OT) that can pose security weaknesses:

Information technology

Shorter software life spans prevent obsolescence
Homogeneous hardware and software
Less government regulation
Built-in updates and patch management
Readily available and supported firewalls and antivirus

Operational technology

Longer software lifecycle + aging equipment = high obsolescence risk
Diverse medical device hardware and software
More government regulation
Inconsistent update and patch management
Limited firewall and anti-malware options

OT requires a new approach. But there are ways you can prepare to protect.

SKEYE

Protection from every direction

In today’s world of modern healthcare, patient care depends on the interconnectivity of hundreds of medical devices. But with more and more medical devices—connected to more and more networks—cybersecurity threats start to become real.

Today’s patient care depends on the interconnectivity of hundreds of medical devices. As the number of interconnected devices and networks increase, so too do cybersecurity threats. A single breach can profoundly impact productivity, finances, quality of care and reputation.

When it comes to cybersecurity, healthcare is different. Medical devices require a new approach. For example, you can’t shut down an MRI machine like you would a laptop to accommodate a security scan because a patient exam could be disrupted.

Skeye™ is a holistic cybersecurity solution for your networked medical devices. It leverages our medical device expertise, advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to help maintain your network’s integrity in the face of cybersecurity risk.

Our strategic, systematic processes are designed to support every aspect of your cybersecurity efforts. Skeye can help you assess your current vulnerabilities and understand potential risks. If we find a security vulnerability, we can help you fix it. What really sets Skeye apart are our cybersecurity professionals and medical device engineering experts both on the ground and in the remote Security Operations Centre proactively monitoring for existing and new threats.

In addition, Skeye aligns with the best practices and guidelines of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (The US NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, which is a prioritized, flexible and cost-effective approach that promotes the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure¹.
