The Line-of-Sight Cybersecurity Problem in Healthcare Why device visibility is hard to get but so worth it By Samuel Hill, Director of Product Marketing, Medigate The pandemic shed light on a big problem in healthcare. Most healthcare delivery organizations don’t accurately know their clinical assets, where they’re located, and whether they’re being used efficiently. The frantic search for ventilators, IV pumps, and other critical equipment needed to treat COVID-19 patients highlighted the issue, but it’s a problem that’s been around for quite a while. Every now and again, there’s a story about nurses looking for and hiding equipment so they know where something is when they need it. MedWrench reports “up to 40% of healthcare technology management staff (HTM) time is spent on non-value-added work such as: searching for equipment, assessing unbroken assets due to operator error, and juggling the details of multiple vendor contracts.” Cyber Defense eMagazine – December 2021 Edition 100 Copyright © 2021, Cyber Defense Magazine.

And it’s only getting worse. If you’re wondering how big this problem really is, it’s enormous when you consider there are approximately 15 million medical devices in U.S. hospitals today with billions of IoMT devices, experts believe, on the way. There’s no easy fix because highly detailed device information is extremely difficult to come by. Data silos and disconnects Traditional computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), which help HDOs track and manage their inventory, aren’t actually connected to the devices they manage and don’t have access to live traffic, so they don’t consistently know location, utilization, or other vital device details. IT asset management (ITAM) and configuration management databases (CMDB), which organizations use to track and manage their IT assets, don’t offer much relief. While they can dynamically capture information on the networked assets in the environment, they lack visibility and understanding of medical devices. That is, they can tell you the IP address of a device, what ports it’s connecting to, and maybe even what type of device it is (e.g., an IV pump or an MRI machine); however, the classifications are often incorrect. They can’t tell you what modules are attached to a device (e.g., syringe module on an IV pump). They can’t tell you anything about serially attached medical devices that don’t have an Ethernet connection. They can’t tell you what proprietary protocols are being used, what embedded software is on the device, how often that device is used, where it’s located, or any anomalies in the network traffic. As a result, BioMed, clinical engineering, and maintenance teams need to spend a lot of time trying to fill in their inventory gaps. Unfortunately, this usually means HTMs are stuck wandering their halls to collect needed information. It also means a lot of the data is outdated almost as soon as it’s captured because most devices rarely remain in one place. This creates huge blind spots that can lead to costly and dangerous operational omissions. What are the risks to healthcare organizations? It may seem overblown to say that these informational holes pose a danger to a health system’s operations, but they do. Silos can lead to inefficient workflows, gaps in operational oversight, and other organizational risks. At best, if left unaddressed, these disconnects add costs and delays to the business that can make it challenging to offer connected care; at worst, they can generate failures or disruptions in care which affect a health system’s integrity, reputation, and long-term economic viability.
