The near limitless and constantly evolving landscape of Internet of Things (IoT) devices make securing and managing these devices a top priority for healthcare organizations. Organizations need to devise a strategy to secure, manage, and educate end users on the inherent risk posed by these devices. To manage risk, organizations need to have visibility and policies in place to secure these exploitable devices.
Vikas will discuss the increasing threat and risk these devices present to a healthcare network and protected health information. He will provide a live demonstration of an IoT device hack, the type of information that can be infiltrated and discuss why these devices are so attractive to hackers. At the conclusion, Vikas and Dr. Morgan will offer strategies and tips for securing these devices, as well as, safe use by both the IT Staff and frontline staff that utilize these devices (infusion pumps, prescription carts, smart phones, mobile devices, echo dots) daily.
