What's the difference between securing medical devices and the Armis strategy of "Securing the Patient Journey?" When you talk about securing medical devices, you're really looking at a single dimension. You can say, here's a CT scanner, I need to understand what vulnerabilities exist on it, I need to secure it. But that's only one part of the overarching patient journey. Let's take an example of a patient actually coming to receive care in a hospital; they're going to park their car, they're going to come into the hospital through automatic doors, they're going to see digital signage to get them to registration desk or kiosks. Then they get to the operating room (OR) and that's when they actually get connected to a patient monitor. But there's also HVAC systems that are regulating the humidity levels and temperatures in the OR. When following this model, there are several examples different types of devices that are non-medical before we even got to a single medical device. And these non-medical devices can impact and negatively impact patient care. If parking gate doesn't open, there's a backlog. If that registration kiosk is down, there's increased wait times.
