HEALTHCARE

---

The rapid push to make modern technologies interoperable with healthcare organizations’ existing information systems has opened the door to new channels of data vulnerabilities and altered the size and shape of their computing edge.  

This push has accelerated adoption of Enterprise Medical Record (EMR) and/or Enterprise EHR (Electronic Health Record) systems. These interoperable systems are intended to facilitate “total patient” awareness across the care providers with significant treatment advantages. However, these EMR/EHR Healthcare systems must interface with a vast array of devices supplied by numerous companies with proprietary, and often opaque, software architectures and operating programs which opens the door for security vulnerabilities. The reliance on internet-dependent devices to transmit patient data makes the cybersecurity of its Internet of Things (IoT) a critical and urgent priority for all Healthcare entities.  

By nearly any measure, Healthcare is amongst the most vulnerable of all industries to cybersecurity attack. As the 2020 HIMSS Cybersecurity Survey revealed, 70% of hospital’s surveyed had experienced a “significant” security incident within the past twelve months.  And the costs of these cybersecurity intrusions can be devastating.   A study published by IBM  stated that, amongst the major industry segments surveyed, the healthcare industry had the highest cost of data breach, with an average cost of $9.23 million in 2020.  Click the button below to view this report.

DCTI's DIANA™ solution offers healthcare organizations an efficient, effective, and affordable system that treats the IoT cybersecurity symptoms at the root cause of the problem. 

DCTI's solutions operate on a simple, but profound “Zero Trust” principle. In complex networks like modern healthcare systems, the authenticity of messages coming through “normal” channels cannot be trusted without the completely separate, out-of-band (network) authentication provided with our Diana technologies. 

DCTI’s unique, patented one-to-many, multifactor, multichannel, out-of-band DIANA Verifactor™ technology is used to secure IoT data at the device level ensuring that it cannot be manipulated or exploited by hostile actors.  Verifactor prevents the modification of IoT’s for any reason unless the devices receive the specific Diana out-of-band authentication required. Verifying the ongoing authenticity of the extensive device connectivity myriad is an unresolved problem for any other technology available today.

DCTI can resolve your Healthcare cybersecurity and data transmission problems.
