Let\u2019s survey the situation first.<\/p><div class=\"article_paragraph_7\">\u00a0<\/div><p>It\u2019s essential for Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices to communicate with an array of other technologies to speed up diagnosis, deliver care and enhance outcomes. So, it\u2019s not a surprise that we\u2019ve seen significant increases in medical devices that are interconnected to the IT network and to each other. Unfortunately, that interconnectivity is also what makes them a great target for attackers.<\/p><p>\u2022 Similar to other types of IoT devices, such as industrial ones, IoMT devices have known critical vulnerabilities that are hard to patch in many cases for the same reasons. Patching isn\u2019t practical or even possible due to uptime and availability requirements, lack of infrastructure to do the patching and reliance on old versions of Windows that are no longer supported or updated. A recent report by Cynerio stated that\u00a0<a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.cynerio.com\/blog\/cynerio-research-finds-critical-medical-device-risks-continue-to-threaten-hospital-security-and-patient-safety\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cynerio.com\/blog\/cynerio-research-finds-critical-medical-device-risks-continue-to-threaten-hospital-security-and-patient-safety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.cynerio.com\/blog\/cynerio-research-finds-critical-medical-device-risks-continue-to-threaten-hospital-security-and-patient-safety\" aria-label=\"53% of connected medical devices\">53% of connected medical devices<\/a>\u00a0and other IoT devices in hospitals have a known critical vulnerability!<\/p><p>\u2022 Since IoMT devices are usually not part of the overall governance process and in many cases are still outside of the purview of the security team, they don\u2019t get audited for simple things like weak passwords or default credentials. According to the same study, one-fifth of IoMT devices fall in this category.<\/p><p>\u2022 Lastly, and very significantly, there is usually no segmentation between IoMT devices and the corporate network. Medical devices are directly connected to the rest of the network and, given their high-risk security profile, are an easy exploitation target and entry point into the network.<\/p><p>As I said at the outset, our healthcare system is overburdened right now. No one is sitting idle on the sidelines, including IT and security staff. So, what can security professionals do to get some quick wins?<\/p><p><strong>1. Identify and add all IoMT devices to the security governance process.<\/strong>\u00a0This can be super tricky as IoMT devices typically don\u2019t show up in traditional IT tool dashboards. You have to go hunt for them with purpose-built technology. If you cannot get to everything, prioritize the more critical machines, devices and processes.<\/p><p><strong>2. Identify vulnerabilities and remediate risks associated with those devices based on this visibility.\u00a0<\/strong>Patch where possible or implement compensating controls such as firewall rules and access control lists.<\/p><p><strong>3. Implement network segmentation.<\/strong>\u00a0Physical segmentation might take a long time to implement. In the meantime, consider virtual segmentation to help detect lateral movement. Network access policies over users, devices and sessions restrict unnecessary connectivity.<\/p><p><strong>4. Monitor for threats across IoMT devices, so you can cover the totality of the assets in HDO networks.<\/strong>\u00a0Visibility into unusual activities across the network allows you to take specific steps to manage and mitigate risk from ransomware.<\/p><p>As a resource,\u00a0<a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/stopransomware\/healthcare-and-public-health-sector\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/stopransomware\/healthcare-and-public-health-sector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/stopransomware\/healthcare-and-public-health-sector\" aria-label=\"CISA\">CISA<\/a>\u00a0has published\u00a0<a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/stopransomware\/healthcare-and-public-health-sector\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/stopransomware\/healthcare-and-public-health-sector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/stopransomware\/healthcare-and-public-health-sector\" aria-label=\"a lot of information\">a lot of information<\/a>\u00a0to help the healthcare sector deal with ransomware, including best practices and recommendations.
