Armis Centrix™ for Medical Device Security
An advanced healthcare cybersecurity solution designed to see, protect, and manage every medical, clinical, and technology asset to secure and optimize the patient journey.
Total, Real-Time Visibility of Every Device in the Modern Healthcare Environment
Complex Medical Devices Lack Security Measures, Impacting Patient Care Delivery
Healthcare is a top target for cyberattacks, especially ransomware, due to difficulties in securing sensitive medical devices. Preventive cybersecurity is essential to avoid down time that delays clinical care.
Inconsistent Security Across Diverse Devices
As any biomedical engineer knows, medical devices exhibit intricate and varied designs, functionalities, and communication protocols, making them challenging to manage uniformly. From intricate imaging systems to wearable monitors, this diversity complicates the implementation of cohesive security measures, as each device type requires tailored approaches for protection.
Difficulties Categorizing IT and IoT Assets With Clinical Context
The average smart hospital manages thousands of devices. Armis provides accurate, real-time asset inventory that categorizes assets based on their clinical usage and if they are used in high priority environments such as the Intensive Care Unit, essential for accurate segmentation and prioritization.
Lack of Visibility Leading to Reactive and Disruptive Processes
The healthcare attack surface can have various blind spots for compliance, security, and protection against increasing ransomware attacks. Healthcare providers must know what is in their environment and which assets pose the greatest risk to patient safety and care continuity. Proactive threat intelligence and innovative approaches provide greater cyber resilience.
Visibility and Security Across the Entire Medical Device Fleet
The number of connected devices in your organization is growing. Armis Centrix™ is the only platform able to help you see and protect devices across your entire inventory. Whether it’s specialized medical or clinical devices or the infrastructure you rely on every day, Armis Centrix™ is able to identify, contextualize, and help manage your whole environment with zero disruption to patient care delivery.
Managing the IoMT/ IT Convergence
The devices in your environment are getting smarter and connecting not just to your back-end environment, but to the rest of the world. You need to be able to protect them whether they are IoMT, IT, or something in between. Armis gives you the ability to see and secure your devices quickly and begin prioritizing your security response in minutes, regardless of device type.
Asset Behavior Monitoring and Compliance
Armis Centrix™ provides a complete, forensic level view of all activities and behaviors across every asset in the healthcare device ecosystem. Specialized behavioral visibility includes monitoring for the transmission of unencrypted PHI, device utilization activities, and the use of default credentials. Respond quickly and accurately to unusual behavior compared to device baselines and ensure your entire inventory is compliant with your policies.
Understand Medical Device Utilization
Device utilization analytics are invaluable to clinical, cybersecurity, and IT teams. Armis Centrix™️ identifies unauthorized device utilization, prioritizes vulnerability remediation based on asset criticality and optimal maintenance times for more proactive scheduling for updates, patches, and fixes. Utilization data also optimizes resource allocation, device life cycle management and contributes to evidence-based funding or replacement requests.
Vulnerability and Threat Monitoring
Medical devices have evolved in both complexity and utility, putting more information and capability into the hands of medical professionals. Armis Centrix™ lets you go beyond vulnerability scanning to address the full cyber risk management lifecycle to keep those machines secure so patient care can operate uninterrupted and uncompromised. Armis Centrix™ for VIPR – Prioritization and Remediation consolidates, deduplicates, and prioritizes alerts to allow healthcare organizations to respond to the vulnerabilities that matter most.
FDA Recall and Security Advisories Management
New guidance from oversight agencies used to be hard to associate with specific devices. With Armis Centrix™, you’ll be automatically alerted to new oversight, whether it’s for a recall, security update, or advisory, and affected devices will be highlighted. Scheduled reports and dashboards help teams stay on top of new advisories and track remediation efforts, while integrations with CMMS and ticketing systems automates the creation of work orders to ensure continuity from the alert to the remediation task.
Automated Network Segmentation and Enforcement
Network segmentation is an important tool for securing the medical environment. With Armis Centrix™, you can secure your environment while maintaining visibility, getting alerts, and generating new access control lists that fit your policies. Armis Centrix™ enables you throughout all phases of the segmentation journey, from asset inventory and communication mapping, to policy building and enforcement automation.
