Securing Federal Hospitals and Laboratories

Whether you operate a Federal laboratory – with sensitive chemicals, biological agents, and a myriad of other materials of concern - or a healthcare delivery organization (HDO), you are likely operating, responsible for, or overseeing more connected devices than ever. In addition to the benefits they bring to your organization, identifying, securing and managing the risk that every device brings to your operations is critical to your operations.

Appropriately securing these environments involves securing not only the IoLT, IoMT, and other operational technology (OT) assets, but the Building Management Systems (BMS) and your physical security assets.

Common requirements and means to secure the devices exist across all of the cyber-physical systems (CPS) and can be mapped on a cyber security journey. From identifying all of your assets with confidence, asset governance including their cyber risk exposure, and monitoring and mitigating threats to them, all must be considered.
