Close your security gap
Most medical institutions today rely on MS Windows-based medical equipment to get optimal interoperability. As a result, the equipment can also contain the same security holes as PC-based versions and is prone to network-based security threats. Now you can close this security gap and protect your patient data via a specially designed firewall solution for your X-ray system.
Security is a shared responsibility
Medical equipment must be safe, effective and in compliance with government safety and quality regulations. Consequently, hospitals and medical institutions are encouraged to provide a secure network environment by applying industry best practices according to defense-in-depth principles. Because securing medical equipment is a shared responsibility between the customer and healthcare system manufacturer, the combined effort of you and Philips is the basis for optimal protection of your system.
| | How Philips mShield works Malware propagates using the same paths in the hospital network that are intended for normal communication. Therefore, Philips mShield works as a physical firewall that sits between the Philips medical equipment and the hospital network, protecting valuable equipment against potential network scanning and subsequent malware attacks. By restricting traffic to only authorized devices and specific services, Philips mShield isolates the medical devices from all common network attacks. This prevents the spreading of viruses and other malware, and stops unrelated devices from directing malicious activity to the modality and vice versa. |
