“Every day we are seeing how technology in healthcare is helping improve the care that patients receive. However, we have also seen that the healthcare industry is regularly under threat from cybercriminals.
Our partnership with Device Authority has enabled us to solve device authentication & data security challenges that are hindering IoT deployments. By creating a hardened system for issuing and managing device credentials & the keys that are essential to creating a root of trust, we enhance patient safety & allow organizations to confidently deploy business critical IoT projects.
This has led to our first joint customer win with a large medical device manufacturer securing surgical robot systems,” said Cindy Provin, CEO, nCipher Security.
The medical device manufacturer produces high quality surgical robot systems which perform a variety of treatments and procedures on patients in hospitals.
This advanced new technology benefits patients by making surgery less invasive & reducing the risk of infection. Connecting to the internet however creates security risks & challenges for the devices, the applications they interact with as well as the data.
With patient safety top of mind, the customer sought a solution that would both protect the transfer and receipt of critical data & surgical instructions as well as provide strong authentication & guarantee the integrity of the medical device itself.
Working closely with the customer’s project team, nCipher and Device Authority have been able to provide a solution that meets integration and security needs, as well provide enhanced features to support both online & offline processing.
“Patient safety, data confidentiality, risk control & adhering to compliance requirements such as HIPAA are all important when deploying connected medical devices.
