AXONIUS FOR HEALTHCARE AND HOSPITALS.

See how healthcare organizations use Axonius to manage and secure assets and comply with regulations to better serve patients.

Axonius for Healthcare Organizations

Healthcare Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management

Modern hospitals now average 10 to 15 connected devices per patient bed. The rise in devices — paired with strict regulations around cybersecurity and personal health information security — creates a complex environment for healthcare security teams.

Unify Disparate Asset Data

Axonius correlates data from medical devices, IT devices, cloud instances, and more for comprehensive visibility in a complex environment.

Track Security Tool Coverage

Axonius verifies that endpoint tools, vulnerability scanners, and other security and management tools are updated and covering all your assets.

Evaluate Compliance Adherence

With comprehensive visibility into asset security, Axonius evaluates compliance with security policies and regulations, like the HIPAA security rule.

Automate Enforcement

Put response actions on autopilot to automatically address assets that don’t adhere to your security policies.

Control Complexity with Axonius

Axonius helps IT and security teams in healthcare organizations gain the visibility they need to take charge of their modern complex environments.

Compiling an Asset Inventory

Manual IT asset inventories require an average of 86 hours of labor and need to happen 16 times a year. Even then, you won’t have an updated, unified view of everything in your environment, leaving you open to unknown gaps in security. With Axonius, asset inventories are easy — and immediate.

The Importance of Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management in Healthcare

In healthcare cybersecurity, your team is a big part of saving lives — connected devices are critical in delivering top-quality care to patients. But with the challenges of HIPAA compliance, the threat of cyberattacks and the sheer number of devices in your infrastructure, it can feel nearly impossible to manage it all. The complexities aren’t going away, so finding the right strategies is important to your business — and to patients.

Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management Trends in Healthcare

Last year’s overnight shift to remote work drove rapid changes in security and IT priorities — resulting in more challenges than ever before. Now, as teams prep for a post-pandemic “new normal”, healthcare IT and security teams are facing fresh obstacles. Axonius partnered with Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) for a global survey of IT and cybersecurity professionals to explore how the pandemic impacted IT complexity, and what security initiatives teams are prioritizing post-pandemic

Compiling a User Inventory

Like device inventories, the sheer number of user accounts that exist across an enterprise result in challenges obtaining a single, consolidated inventory for user information. Almost every application, database, and platform across an enterprise has their own associated (and siloed) user account inventory. Pairing a comprehensive user and asset inventories form the foundation for a Zero Trust architecture.

Setting a Foundation for Zero Trust

As in enterprises of all kinds, IT and cybersecurity teams in healthcare face formidable challenges: Remote work and use of the cloud are on the rise, and cybersecurity threats are multiplying and getting more complex. But in healthcare, the stakes are especially high. IT systems are intricately tied to patient care – the security and availability of those devices are quite literally a matter of life and death, but many were not designed with security in mind.

Solving Challenges on the Road to Zero Trust

The move to Zero Trust is more than just a new security architecture. Implementing Zero Trust isn’t done all at once — or simply. It’s a journey with challenges to solve along the way.

Evaluating HIPAA Compliance

Maintaining HIPAA compliance is the cornerstone of a strong security posture for organizations working in or with the healthcare industry. Especially as they begin to scale and address electronic protected health information (ePHI) gaps - having a comprehensive asset inventory tool becomes essential. Healthcare organizations must have reliable, up-to-date asset inventories so they can understand where electronic protected health information (ePHI) is stored, maintained, received, or transmitted.

Assess Your Cloud Security Compliance

With misconfigurations, overly permissive access rights, and publicly available data, many organizations are challenged to secure all of their cloud instances. Axonius Cloud Asset Compliance simply connects to the cloud platforms you’re using to map the state of your cloud instances against industry standards and benchmarks.

Automate Security Policy Validation and Enforcement

With Axonius, you can automate a wide array of actions when specific gaps are discovered. You can notify the security team, deploy software, run remote commands, execute endpoint security agent actions, update vulnerability scans, and enable or disable users.
