Case Study
Protecting patients during the pandemic by securing the Internet of Medical Things
To protect critical patient care during the pandemic, a healthcare provider secured its sprawling network of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices using specialized solutions from Palo Alto Networks. Faced with millions of vulnerable devices—ranging from infusion pumps to MRI machines—the organization required a way to safeguard patient data and ensure device reliability. Palo Alto Networks software provided essential, automated discovery and granular, device-based policy enforcement by integrating seamlessly with Next-Generation Firewalls and Prisma Access. This powerful, unified platform eliminated security blind spots, streamlined device maintenance, and hardened the organization’s defensive posture, ensuring continuous, life-saving service in a highly secure environment.
