99% Plan It. 9% Have It. A CISO Playbook for Closing the Microsegmentation Gap

An Omdia survey of 352 healthcare and manufacturing security leaders puts numbers on the say-do gap — and two CISOs who closed it share what actually works.

About This Webinar

Ninety-nine percent of CISOs are planning or deploying microsegmentation. Nine percent have it protecting their critical systems. Nearly one in two organizations had a lateral movement attack in the past twelve months.

A new Omdia survey of 352 healthcare and manufacturing security leaders just put numbers on what most CISOs have felt for years: the say-do gap is real, it is structural, and the architecture has finally caught up.

Hear from the two analysts who ran the survey and two CISOs who have shipped microsegmentation at scale. Thirty minutes of fireside conversation. Survey data on screen. No product pitch. A working playbook from people who have done it.

Challenge

Expanded Attack Surface

The proliferation of connected medical and IoT devices has expanded the attack surface across clinical environments, creating new attack vectors that cybercriminals exploit to gain unauthorized access to critical patient care systems and protected health information (PHI). With thousands of devices spanning multiple facilities, healthcare organizations struggle to maintain visibility and control.​

Elisity Solution

Comprehensive Healthcare Visibility

Elisity IdentityGraph™ transforms your switches into data sensors that automatically discover and classify all connected devices—including medical equipment, IoMT devices, clinical workstations, and building management systems—providing complete visibility across your entire healthcare environment without disrupting patient care. This visibility extends across all facilities in your healthcare system.​

Challenge

Legacy Medical Device Vulnerabilities

Clinical devices and IoMT systems often run legacy software, proprietary operating systems, or have long replacement cycles, making them impossible to patch regularly or secure with traditional endpoint solutions. These devices represent a significant portion of a healthcare organization's infrastructure but remain largely unprotected by conventional security tools.​

Elisity Solution

HIPAA-Compliant Segmentation

Easily implement the network segmentation controls required by the 2025 HIPAA Security Rule update through identity-based policy groups that logically segment your clinical environment without complex VLAN configurations or network architecture changes. Our solution aligns with HHS 405(d) guidelines to help you achieve favorable regulatory treatment.​

Challenge

HIPAA Compliance Complexity

Meeting stringent HIPAA Security Rule requirements, especially the new 2025 mandated network segmentation controls, becomes increasingly difficult with traditional approaches that require complex VLAN configurations and static firewall rules. HHS 405(d) Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices (HICP) further emphasizes the need for robust network protection through segmentation.​

Elisity Solution

Zero-Disruption Deployment

Deploy medical microsegmentation using your existing network infrastructure without requiring new hardware, device agents, or clinical downtime—maintaining continuous patient care operations critical to healthcare environments with multiple facilities and thousands of caregivers.​

Frame 427319008

Clinical Continuity

Healthcare organizations cannot tolerate disruptions to patient care that traditional security implementations often require, creating resistance to implementing proper security controls while maintaining 24/7 clinical operations across multiple hospitals and specialty clinics.​

Elisity Solution

Phased Security Implementation

Roll out your fine-tuned policies in waves using Elisity's Simulation Mode to analyze policy impact, identify potential issues, and refine policies before full-scale deployment, safeguarding your clinical operations while strengthening security posture across your entire healthcare organization.​

Healthcare Networks & Medical Device Security FAQ

See how Elisity helps healthcare organizations secure legacy and connected medical devices while maintaining compliance and clinical operations. These FAQs answer the most common questions from security and clinical engineering teams.

Many medical devices run outdated systems and can’t have agents installed. How can we protect these vulnerable devices?

Elisity’s identity-based microsegmentation secures each device at the network level without requiring any software on the device. By limiting communications to only what’s necessary for care, it shields legacy and unpatchable medical equipment from threats.

We have thousands of IoMT devices and strict regulations (HIPAA, HHS 405(d)) to meet. Can Elisity help us stay compliant?

Yes, Elisity automatically discovers and classifies all connected medical devices, then enforces healthcare-specific segmentation policies that protect patient data. It also provides the documentation and visibility needed to demonstrate compliance with industry security requirements.

Will deploying microsegmentation disrupt patient care or critical medical services?

No, Elisity’s solution is non-disruptive and uses your existing network, so you can roll out security policies without any downtime. You can even simulate and verify policies before enforcement to ensure there’s no impact on essential healthcare operations.

Our hospital security team is stretched thin managing multiple tools. How does Elisity simplify medical device security?

Elisity consolidates network access control into one platform that’s aware of clinical context. This unified, automated approach means fewer consoles to manage and consistent enforcement across all devices, freeing up your team from manual device-by-device configurations.
