Abstract:
The healthcare industry worldwide is currently being transformed by digitization and the Internet of Things. As the level of digitization increases, the number of devices within a network of a healthcare facility grows exponentially. The consequential complexity of the infrastructure poses a substantial challenge for IT professionals to keep their networks secure. This paper aims to provide two different ways to aid administrators and decision makers to help integrate the increasing amount of interconnected medical devices into their infrastructure more securely. Additionally two mobile ultrasonic scanners where tested in regards to their security as well as privacy, in order to show where problems with such devices might occur.
