Use Case

IoMT Security

Healthcare organizations manage vast networks of IoMT devices across distributed locations, from imaging systems to patient monitoring equipment. Elisity's identity-based microsegmentation platform discovers and secures tens of thousands of devices enterprise-wide, automatically enforcing dynamic security policies based on device identity and risk. This ensures continuous IoMT medical device security and protection of critical systems while maintaining seamless patient care delivery.

Challenges

Healthcare organizations struggle to secure IoMT devices across distributed networks using traditional segmentation approaches. Multiple security tools, siloed teams, and complex manual processes drive up operational costs while creating visibility gaps. With critical patient care networks requiring zero downtime, organizations need a frictionless approach that won't disrupt life-saving medical services.

Customer Spotlight

“Elisity gives us the ability to microsegment in a way that’s operationally sustainable and doesn’t add a ton of overhead — and in healthcare, where you simply can’t afford downtime, that’s critical.”

— Jason Elrod, CISO
MultiCare

Challenge

Multiple Tools, Multiple Teams

Healthcare security requires coordinating across clinical engineering, IT, and security teams using different tools and processes to manage IoMT medical devices. This fragmentation creates visibility gaps and security risks.

Elisity Challenge

Complete IoMT Visibility & Control

Elisity Cloud Control Center brings medical-device context and network policy into one console, supporting asset visibility and risk-based segmentation. IdentityGraph correlates network observations with connected identity and medical-device tools so teams can review each discovered asset’s communication needs.

Challenge

High Operational Costs

Manual device discovery, classification, and policy management across thousands of IoMT medical devices consumes significant resources while still leaving security gaps in critical networks. Many solutions do not always correlate metadata needed to confidently create policies.

Elisity Solution

Segmentation evidence for security reviews

Use asset context, reviewed policies and observed traffic to support medical-device segmentation and security reviews. Connected sources can add risk attributes to IdentityGraph; teams can use those attributes to define Policy Groups and retain policy evidence for their compliance process.

Explore how MDS2 information can inform medical-device security, or review the control patterns in the IoMT segmentation guide.

Challenge

Zero-Downtime Requirements

Critical patient care networks cannot tolerate disruption from security implementations. Traditional segmentation approaches often require network changes that risk impacting life-saving services.

IoMT Security and Segmentation FAQs

Curious how to protect medical devices without risking patient care disruptions? These FAQs dive into how Elisity enables healthcare-ready IoMT medical device security and segmentation that supports compliance and safety.
How can we secure thousands of IoMT devices without disrupting patient care?

Elisity automates IoMT segmentation using dynamic, identity-based policies enforced without network downtime. This ensures critical medical systems are continuously protected without impacting patient care workflows.

Can Elisity help us meet healthcare cybersecurity requirements like HIPAA or HHS 405(d)?

Elisity supports asset visibility, least-privilege network policy and evidence for healthcare security reviews. Teams can use asset context, policy records and observed traffic in their broader risk-management and compliance processes. Applicable requirements and compliance decisions remain organization-specific.

Our IT and clinical teams use separate tools—can Elisity bridge this gap?

Elisity offers a unified Cloud Control Center, providing shared visibility and policies for IoMT devices. This integration reduces miscommunication and enhances consistent security across teams.

IoMT device management is time-consuming and costly—how does Elisity reduce this burden?

Elisity automates device discovery and segmentation, eliminating manual firewall rules or VLAN management. This automation significantly reduces operational costs and frees resources for strategic tasks.
