IT Versus OT Cybersecurity for Healthcare
Many hospitals do their best to follow good security practices, which can provide a significant layer of security against intrusions. IT systems include software, networks, servers, cloud-based archives, and digital files. OT cybersecurity revolves around physical equipment and devices.
Healthcare devices with connectivity features allow for remote monitoring and automation. Unfortunately, without proper cybersecurity defenses in place, these features are also vulnerable to potential exploitation.
In healthcare settings, many types of OT systems require protection:
- Healthcare equipment: MRI machines, surgical robots, ultrasound systems, emergency defibrillators, dialysis machines, and angioplasty devices
- Patient devices: Mobile cardiac telemetry devices, insulin pumps, pacemakers, and intracardiac defibrillators
- Mechanical equipment: Boilers, generators, pumps, air handler units, and refrigeration systems
- Medical device manufacturing systems: Injection molding equipment, CNC machines, and specialized equipment

Ransomware is an ever-evolving form of malware designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering any files and the systems that rely on them unusable. Malicious actors then demand ransom in exchange for decryption. Ransomware actors often target and threaten to sell or leak exfiltrated data or authentication information if the ransom is not paid. Ransomware incidents can severely impact business processes and leave organizations without the data they need to operate and deliver mission-critical services. Ransomware incidents have become more destructive and impactful in nature and scope. The economic and reputational impacts of ransomware incidents, throughout the initial disruption and, at times, extended recovery, have also proven challenging for organizations large and small.
