Healthcare Trends - Managing the Risks of Emerging Technologies in Healthcare with PSIM

The healthcare industry is undergoing a digital transformation, with emerging technologies such as 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) becoming increasingly prevalent. While these technologies offer many benefits, they also bring new risks, particularly when it comes to security. In this article, we'll explore the impact of emerging technologies on healthcare security and how Entelec's Sky-Walker Open Integration Platform can help manage these new risks.

Increased Attack Surface: As more devices and systems are connected to healthcare networks, the attack surface increases, making it more difficult to secure sensitive patient data.

Vulnerabilities in IoT Devices: Many IoT devices have weak security measures or are not designed with security in mind, making them vulnerable to cyber attacks.

Increased Complexity: The complexity of healthcare networks is increasing with the addition of new technologies, making it more difficult to manage and secure.

PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) is a software platform that integrates and manages multiple security and safety systems, providing a comprehensive centralised view of an organisation's security posture. By integrating emerging technologies such as 5G and IoT with existing security and safety systems, PSIM can help manage the new risks they bring.

Here's how Entelec's Sky-Walker Open Integration Platform can help manage the risks of emerging technologies in healthcare:

Centralised Monitoring: Sky-Walker Open Integration Platform provides a centralised view of all connected devices and systems, making it easier to monitor and manage potential security threats.

Real-time Alerts and Notifications: Sky-Walker Open Integration Platform can send real-time alerts and notifications to security personnel in the event of a potential security threat, allowing for a faster response time.

Incident Management: Sky-Walker Open Integration Platform provides incident management capabilities, allowing for a coordinated response to security incidents.

Access Control: Sky-Walker Open Integration Platform can manage access control to sensitive areas and data, ensuring that only authorised personnel have access to sensitive patient information.

Improved Security: By integrating emerging technologies with existing security and safety systems, PSIM can improve overall security and reduce the risk of data breaches.

Cost Savings: By providing a centralised view of all connected devices and systems, PSIM can help reduce costs associated with managing multiple security systems.

Compliance: PSIM can help healthcare organisations comply with industry regulations and standards, such as HIPAA and HITECH.

Scalability: PSIM is scalable and can grow with the needs of healthcare organisations, making it a flexible solution for managing security risks.

As emerging technologies such as 5G and IoT become increasingly prevalent in healthcare, it's essential to manage the new risks they bring. Entelec's Sky-Walker Open Integration Platform offers a comprehensive solution for managing the risks of emerging technologies in healthcare. By integrating these technologies with existing security and safety systems, Sky-Walker Open Integration Platform can help improve overall security, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with industry regulations and standards. With the increasing complexity of healthcare networks, PSIM is a valuable tool for any healthcare organisation looking to manage the risks of emerging technologies.
