Experts Offer Advice for Managing Growing Inventories, Resources for Providers
The HSCC’s “Health Industry Cybersecurity – Managing Legacy Technology Security” – or HIC-MaLTS – guidance offers organizations best practices that can be used to manage cyber risks of legacy medical technologies, said Phil Englert, vice president of medical device security at the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center.
HIC-MaLTS takes on common healthcare cybersecurity challenges. For example, “many different types of medical devices and the diverse locations in which they are used possess unique risk profiles and include diagnostic, therapeutic, wearable, implantable and software-as-a-medical device features, among others, that can be used in hospitals, clinics, and other non-clinical and home healthcare settings,” he said.
