161 dashboard,” said the security analyst from one of Illusive’s healthcare customers. “We significantly reduced the organisation’s attack surface by disabling, deleting or adjusting policies and access credentials, and now we can see exactly what’s going on.” The zero-trust philosophy has been gaining momentum in recent years, matching the increasing number and severity of cyberattacks in all industries. Where network perimeters were previously secured based on verifying a user or device the first time it came into contact, zero trust ensures that users are continuously authenticated, authorised, and validated. Infinipoint is delivering zero-trust security to its healthcare customers through its device identity-as-a-service solution. With it, enterprises of all sizes can automate their ‘cyber hygiene’ and increase visibility across their entire IT estate. Infinipoint provides single sign-on authorisation integrated with risk-based policies and one-click remediation for noncompliant and vulnerable devices. One of its customers, which focuses on providing access to online telehealth services for brick-andmortar providers, wanted to ensure that each telehealth session complied with the USA’s Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), without being intrusive during the telehealth sessions and without knowing the exact security posture of the provider. Infinipoint was able to execute unintrusive HIPAA security checks and offer low-friction, self-service remediation for physicians’ noncompliant devices. Securing the wide range of devices that enable healthcare providers to operate properly is one of the industry’s greatest security challenges. New York-based Cynerio is helping healthcare systems to secure the millions of internet of things, internet of medical things, and operational technology devices found throughout their environments. Its platform identifies device- and networkbased risks, and then provides effective mitigation and remediation actions based on a zero-trust framework. Cynerio’s dedicated focus on healthcare environments minimises noise, provides actionable insights, and enables effective and rapid risk reduction in even the most overburdened healthcare environments. While working with MarinHealth in California, USA, Cynerio was able to neutralise an active attack which drove an overarching approach to innovating and improving medical device security for the healthcare provider.
