Identity and access management continues to be a top medical device cybersecurity challenge, says Clearwater security expert Mark Sexton. “A number of these devices cannot be integrated into normal technical controls, like Active Directory, that you use on your network to manage user access and monitor that activity,” he notes in an interview with Information Security Media Group.
David Bailey, vice president of consulting services at Clearwater, a firm focused on cybersecurity in healthcare, told Fierce in an interview that the incident highlighted challenges in healthcare beyond fending off digital threats, as organizations grappled with a key service taken offline.
