Cybernetic | At the intersection of likelihood & impact in healthcare cybersecurity

September 2018

Perhaps the fastest evolving security issue facing healthcare providers and their partners is the explosive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), and how to make sure that these wireless devices don’t become the entry point of a major breach. A case in point is wireless infusion pumps.

Clearwater is honored that our IRM|ProTM platform was selected and utilized to conduct the risk assessment by the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE), a part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) for their Special Publication (SP) 1800-8: “Securing Wireless Infusion Pumps in Healthcare Delivery Organizations.”

Clearwater strongly recommends that healthcare organizations use this best-practice guide in taking immediate steps to help alleviate potential threats to their wireless infusion pumps.

Wireless Infusion Pumps Could Increase Cybersecurity Vulnerability (featuring Clearwater’s IRM|Pro Platform)

Wirelessly connecting infusion pumps to point-of-care medication systems and EHRs improves healthcare delivery but also increases cybersecurity vulnerability, warned NIST and NCCoE in a new guide.

Most medical device cybersecurity issues attributed to user authentication, report finds.

For the report, various medical device vendors have submitted to the Industrial Control Systems-Cyber Emergency Response Team, a program of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, since 2013. In total they detected 47 cybersecurity disclosures from medical device companies, comprising 122 vulnerabilities.
