The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Care provided and malware denied
Your hospital is busier than normal with another surge of needs and staff shortages while far away a criminal enterprise has decided that people’s pain is to become their profit. The campaign starts like most others, some cursory research followed by a series of phishing emails to overworked billing admins, and their malware arrives.
Fortunately for your patients and staff, clinical systems are separated and protected. You have found classified and segmented systems by function and risk. Only HL7 queries can reach from billing into any care system – file movement is identified, and controlled users of PACS systems are accessed through MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication)-enabled access controls.
In short Cisco’s IoT Threat Defense portfolio of security controls enables healthcare access and malware defeat. People in need receive what is necessary, and people of greed are denied.
● Ensure medical system availability
● Medical device identification and visibility
● Mitigation of system vulnerability
Assure clinical availability with inobtrusive controls
Enable improved operations and patient experience with Cisco networking and communications. Assure continued operations with the Cisco® IoT Threat Defense portfolio of integrated protections.
The Cisco solution is comprised of:
● Cisco ISE with AI Endpoint Analytics – draws upon the FDA medical device database to identify and then segment clinical equipment
● Cisco Secure Endpoint – protects both finance and PACS workstations from malware and unwanted applications
● Cisco Secure Firewall – classifies traffic and protects needed applications while stopping exploitation of vulnerable systems
● Cisco Umbrella® – protects and identifies DNS traffic from all your systems, wherever they may be
● Cisco DUO – the easy-to-deploy and easy-to-use multi-factor authentication system for your applications and users
● Cisco Secure Network Analytics – identifies anomalous network traffic as well as applies heuristic-based identifiers for known low and slow abuse patterns.
