Boost Cybersecurity, Privacy and Asset Compliance for Healthcare Networks<\/h3>\n

Advancements in technology-enabled healthcare have led to an explosive growth of interconnected IoT, OT, IT, IoMT and medical devices, all to improve patient care and outcomes. Along with advancements come risks and an ever-increasing attack surface. The Forescout 4D Platform\u2122\u2019s zero trust approach eliminates blind spots, giving you the visibility to automatically identify, classify and segment every device the instant it connects to your network, without requiring an agent.<\/p>\n

Hospital Merger Drives Need for Deep Asset Intelligence and Control<\/h3>\n

A four-hospital merger at the University Hospitals Birmingham drove the need for a top-tier asset intelligence partner. Network visibility? Check. Automated remediation? Check. No additional FTE? Check, mate.<\/p>\n

Hammond Reddie, CTO, talks about the evolution of security in regional hospital networks \u2014 and why his experience with Forescout is a true partnership.<\/p>\n

Security and Visibility for Medical Devices and Clinical Assets<\/a>
\nYour number one goal is to provide safe, secure and high-quality medical care to ensure the well-being and safety of patients. Connected medical devices are critical to this mission. But they introduce a wide range of operating systems and communication protocols that traditional cybersecurity solutions cannot adequately protect.
\n\u00a0
\nUnlike other IT assets, connected medical devices are often unprotected or unmanaged \u2014 and are vulnerable to breaches, ransomware or other attacks on data confidentiality and patient safety.
\n\u00a0
\nForescout\u2019s asset intelligence and control platform proactively identifies, protects and ensures compliance of endpoints through asset visibility, risk, detection, and response capabilities for unmatched security.\n

Empower Healthcare Technology Management for Biomedical Engineering Teams<\/a>
\nYour biomedical team manages thousands of connected medical devices. The Forescout platform empowers biomedical engineering teams to be more effective. Support medical equipment by maximizing its performance with continuous discovery and detailed classification of all medical assets, device risk assessments, asset utilization, FDA recall tracking, and MDS2 integration.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Forescout 4D Platform\u2122<\/sup> continuously captures operational data from all connected medical and IoMT devices \u2014managed or unmanaged. The medical device utilization dashboard allows users to monitor hospital devices, identify performance anomalies, and transfer devices between hospital departments. Increase efficiency, reduce time spent on inventory management, and drive savings in annual maintenance costs.\n

Automate Device and Regulatory Compliance in Healthcare<\/a>
\nBeyond uptime and availability, privacy and security are essential for mission-critical operations. The number and complexity of inadequately protected IoT and IoMT devices requires organizations to be more vigilant with clinical asset security.
\n\u00a0
\nCompliance is now at a new level of priority: HITRUST, HIPAA, NIST, PCI and other frameworks are all receiving greater attention and focus. Forescout helps you gain essential visibility across the entire attack surface, including multi-system data collection, ePHI tagging, inbound \/ outbound device communication \u2014 all with actionable recommendations. Boost operational security and performance while reducing business risk. Easily maintain or satisfy healthcare regulations and compliance.\n

Reduce Costs, Increase Hospital Margins \u2014 Without Increasing Budget or Staff<\/a>
\nStaff shortages. Higher patient volumes. Mergers and acquisitions. The struggle to manage your human, budgetary and equipment resources efficiently is real. Hiring new staff or increasing budgets is rarely viable. Instead, you need to find ways to work smarter and reduce costs.
\n\u00a0
\nForescout helps you optimize critical assets and automate processes to reduce the risk of downtime and streamline patient care. With real-time device tracking, it\u2019s easier to find what you need. Plus, devices can be moved to higher utilization areas as demand fluctuates. With better data, you can make better purchasing decisions. Forescout monitors equipment usage, so you can allocate equipment accordingly \u2014 and reduce the need for replacement equipment.\n
