Growing Cybersecurity Crisis <br> in the Healthcare Sector

Healthcare organizations are meant to provide life-saving services and care to people, but with bad actors continually targeting the healthcare sector, patient care is being affected. In situations where patient care halts completely, the impact can have severe consequences. Recent numbers showcase how severely cyberattacks are affecting healthcare organizations and why it’s more important than ever for facilities to prioritize securing medical devices:

249

The healthcare sector reported 249 ransomware attacks to the FBI in 2023, more than any other sector.1

121

In the last six months alone, U.S. healthcare providers have faced a staggering 121 ransomware attacks from 10 distinct groups. 2

22
%

The State of Ransomware in Healthcare 2024 survey found that only 22% of victims fully recovered from a cyberattack in less than a week, compared with 47% in the year prior. Nearly 40% took more than a month to return to normal operations. 3

Built for Compliance, Productivity & Efficiency

As a manufacturer of devices for the healthcare sector, integrating rf IDEAS WAVE ID® Embedded OEM readers into your medical devices allows you to comply with new regulations and mandates like the 2023 Omnibus Bill and the Executive Order on Cybersecurity (FDORA). For your end customers this empowers healthcare systems to comply more easily with HIPAA and GDPR while also increasing security on otherwise vulnerable devices.

Built for Simplified Sanitization & Saved Space

It is critical in healthcare environments for equipment to be sanitized correctly and often. It is also vital for medical equipment to fit practically in the space it was designed for, meaning a desktop reader may not be a viable option. Because an embedded reader fits efficiently inside the device, cleaning protocols are simplified – no more time-consuming washdown procedures for numerous cords or added peripherals and authentication can be brought to more end points than before.

Built to Improve Medical Device Security

Embedded OEM readers allow healthcare workers to reduce time spent entering passwords and gaining access to necessary systems. By simply presenting their existing ID card, smartphone or fingerprint, users can get instant, passwordless access to the devices and data they’re authorized for, with full accountability and compliance to security directives.

Built for Extensive Credential Compatibility & Integration

Selling built-in security as a value add to healthcare organizations can be easier when you can back it up with credential compatibility. rf IDEAS Embedded OEM readers are compatible with the leading secure credentials like HID, MIFARE, LEGIC, Apple and Google wallets as well as biometric authentication. Extensive credential compatibility enables healthcare systems with various credential strategies to seamlessly integrate these built-ready devices into their ecosystem. Couple this with our leading healthcare software provider compatibility, like Imprivata, and your device becomes a necessary addition to healthcare facilities.
