OPTIMIZING NETWORK MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY: THE BENEFITS OF NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL FOR IT AND MEDICAL NETWORKS

Last year, 46 U.S. hospital systems faced ransomware attacks, impacting 141 hospitals and leading to severe operational disruptions. Notably, St. Margaret’s Health in Illinois experienced significant financial strain, affecting its ability to process insurance claims. A Ponemon Institute study highlights a concerning lack of progress in healthcare cybersecurity, with 650 IT professionals indicating major disruptions in patient care due to cyberattacks:

  • 57% reported delays in medical procedures.
  • 50% saw an increase in medical complications.
  • 23% noted a rise in patient mortality rates.

These incidents not only cause financial and operational damage but also harm hospitals' reputations, undermining public trust. This white paper examines the cybersecurity challenges and proposes strategies to enhance security measures.
