Healthcare

Your 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.
 
Unlike other IT assets, connected medical devices are often unprotected or unmanaged — and are vulnerable to breaches, ransomware or other attacks on data confidentiality and patient safety.
 
Forescout’s asset intelligence and control platform proactively identifies, protects and ensures compliance of endpoints through asset visibility, risk, detection, and response capabilities for unmatched security.

Your 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.
 
The Forescout platform continuously captures operational data from all connected medical and IoMT devices —managed 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.

Beyond 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.
 
Compliance 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 — all with actionable recommendations. Boost operational security and performance while reducing business risk. Easily maintain or satisfy healthcare regulations and compliance.

Staff 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.
 
Forescout helps you optimize critical assets and automate processes to reduce the risk of downtime and streamline patient care. With real-time device tracking, it’s 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 — and reduce the need for replacement equipment.
