Interview in Action @ HIMSS '23: Jim Hyman, ORDR & Keith Whitby, Mayo Clinic
Jim Hyman and Keith Whitby discuss practical approaches to medical device management and connected device security in healthcare environments. Learn how organizations can build comprehensive asset inventories, implement best practices for device security, and manage the unique challenges of IoT/OT systems in clinical settings. This conversation bridges technical security with healthcare operational requirements.
What you'll learn
- Establish a complete medical device inventory using automated asset discovery techniques
- Implement connected device security best practices specific to healthcare environments
- Align device management strategies with clinical operations and compliance requirements
Frequently asked questions
- How can healthcare organizations discover and inventory all connected medical devices?
- ORDR uses automated asset discovery techniques to identify every connected device across clinical environments without requiring manual scanning or network disruption. This comprehensive inventory approach ensures healthcare organizations have complete visibility into their IoT/OT/IoMT infrastructure, which is essential for risk management and compliance.
- What are the key best practices for securing medical devices in clinical settings?
- Healthcare-specific device security requires balancing stringent security controls with operational continuity and patient safety. ORDR's approach aligns device management strategies directly with clinical operations, ensuring security measures don't compromise workflows while meeting compliance requirements like HIPAA and FDA guidelines.
- Why is automated asset management important for healthcare cybersecurity?
- Manual device tracking fails in complex healthcare environments where thousands of connected medical devices are constantly added, moved, and updated. ORDR's automated platform maintains real-time visibility into asset inventory and risk posture, enabling security teams to quickly identify vulnerabilities and respond to threats before they impact patient care.
