Simplifying Zero Trust in Healthcare: Cisco + ORDR
Learn how healthcare organizations implement Zero Trust architecture to secure medical devices and connected assets. Jim Hyman and Larry Smith from El Camino Health share practical insights on defining Zero Trust principles, conducting comprehensive asset inventories, and managing medical device security in complex healthcare environments. Discover the strategic approach needed to transition from traditional security models to modern Zero Trust frameworks.
What you'll learn
- Define Zero Trust principles and apply them specifically to healthcare medical device environments
- Conduct comprehensive asset inventory and discovery to identify all connected medical devices
- Implement medical device security best practices aligned with Zero Trust architecture strategies
- How do healthcare organizations implement Zero Trust for medical devices?
- Healthcare organizations implement Zero Trust by first conducting comprehensive asset discovery to identify all connected medical devices, then applying Zero Trust principles specifically to device access and communication. ORDR's approach enables visibility into device inventory and helps define Zero Trust policies tailored to healthcare environments where devices cannot be easily updated or replaced.
- What is the first step in transitioning to Zero Trust architecture in healthcare?
- The first step is conducting a thorough asset inventory and discovery to identify all connected medical devices across your healthcare environment. ORDR specializes in discovering and cataloging IoMT devices, which is critical since many legacy medical devices may not be visible to traditional IT discovery tools.
- How does Zero Trust architecture improve medical device security and compliance?
- Zero Trust improves security by eliminating implicit trust and enforcing strict access controls for each device, while supporting compliance requirements like HIPAA and HITRUST through proper segmentation and monitoring. ORDR's medical device security platform provides the visibility and segmentation capabilities needed to implement Zero Trust while managing the unique constraints of healthcare device environments.
