Vulnerability detection and risk management: IT security using the example of a hospital

The partnership between Asimily and A1 Digital relieves the burden on IT departments in companies, hospitals and administration by providing a system that offers security without requiring additional manpower. This collaboration arose from a request from a large hospital for better protection of medical devices in its network. Arne Trittelvitz from Asimily provides his expertise in network security and risk management for IoT devices, while Holger Hartwig from A1 Digital promotes the digitalization and security of IoT devices.

In contrast to standard IT, IoT devices are often in operation for a long time and difficult to update, which makes them particularly vulnerable. An example from the healthcare sector shows that medical devices in the IT network require special security measures. Asimily’s approach includes visibility and inventory of IoT devices, vulnerability mitigation, threat detection and risk modeling. Network segmentation is used to monitor and analyze device communication in order to minimize risks. Practical examples include surveillance cameras, medical devices and building technology. A1 Digital plays a key role in the implementation and integration of the Asimily solution, taking care of the IoT environment, cloud services and cybersecurity services. Legal requirements and future developments also play an important role. NIS2 and security requirements for critical infrastructures require close cooperation between IT and other areas of the company for a comprehensive security strategy.
