A and security company, has announced that it is enabling The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust( PAHT) to protect its entire attack surface and manage cyberrisk exposure in real time, underpinning the delivery of world-class patient care.
PAHT leverages AI-powered Armis Centrix, the Armis Cyber Exposure Management Platform, to proactively identify and mitigate all cyber asset risks, remediate security findings and vulnerabilities and protect the entire attack surface. Armis Centrix for Medical Device Security is a specialised solution engineered to protect healthcare institutions from the growing threat landscape targeting medical devices.
“ Putting quality first is the Trust’ s approach to everything we do as we strive for excellence and cybersecurity is no exception,” said Jeffrey Wood, Deputy Director of ICT at PAHT.
“ Armis has supported us in mitigating risk to our environment, including the large number of physical and virtual assets on-site, legacy technologies needing to be segregated from the corporate network and connected assets that were actively communicating externally. We have identified and strengthened our cybersecurity approach.”
PAHT’ s vision is to be one of the most digitally advanced trusts in the UK by 2030. As a part of this transformation to drive improved patient care, the trust has adopted technologies at the cutting edge of innovation. This includes a new electronic health record( EHR) system, a virtual holographic receptionist, Amazon-style lockers and cloud telephony.
With this proliferation of connected physical and virtual assets, the organisation’ s attack surface continues to significantly expand at a rapid pace and is protected by Armis.
“ We are incredibly proud to support PAHT, enabling their security team to effectively balance innovation and security in pursuit of their larger goals,” said Mohammad Waqas, CTO, Healthcare at Armis.
