5 observations about St. Elizabeth Healthcare using Tenable Network Security for medical device IT security

Northern Kentucky-based St. Elizabeth Healthcare, a mission-based organization focused on improving healthcare, chose Tenable Network Security, a network monitoring company, to find vulnerabilities in its medical devices.   

Here are five observations:

1. Tenable Network Security can pinpoint cyber vulnerabilities in network-connected medical devices while they’re still active.

2. St. Elizabeth utilizes Tenable's SecurityCenter CV to run active and passive scanning and analytics on medical devices.

3. The SecurityCenter CV allows St. Elizabeth to look at 9,600 IP addresses and more than 300 medical device endpoints across five campuses and more than 60 distant facilities.

4. St. Elizabeth chose SecurityCenter CV for its mix of analytics, real-time reporting and visibility assessments.   

5. Six facilities in Northern Kentucky and more than 110 primary care and specialty office locations in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio comprise St. Elizabeth Healthcare.

"CT scanners, MRIs, smart IV pumps — any of these endpoint devices may be running on outdated systems that leave the entire network vulnerable to attack, but you can't perform traditional vulnerability assessments because taking the systems offline is risky and could diminish patient care," said Harold Eder, director of St. Elizabeth Healthcare IT infrastructure and security.
