While the ability to transfer records between hospitals and other medical systems offers significant benefits, it also introduces unique challenges and risk for safeguarding Healthcare IT.

This week on Feds At the Edge, federal leaders examine three areas of concern:

  • Interoperability

  • Unique aspects of the attack surface

  • The impact of IoT devices.

Jennifer Franks, Director, Center for Enhanced Cybersecurity for GAO, highlights reports of rising cyber threats due to medical data interconnectivity and the need to secure legacy systems, especially since medical data remains unchanged over time.

Joe Ronzio, Deputy Chief Health Technology Officer, Veterans Health Administration, shares the difficulties of managing medical device inventories across 170+ hospitals and highlights how upgrading encryption systems, like FIPS 140, can introduce vulnerabilities.

Tune in on your favorite podcasting platform now to learn about how healthcare organizations can navigate these challenges and strengthen their cybersecurity posture.
