Clinical Defender Provides Much-Needed Clarity
The information Clinical Defender gathers is impressive and provides a deeply granular map of everything operating within a healthcare network, from typical computers to highly specialized medical devices and Internet of Things sensors.
Devices can be sorted based on type, location, function, priority or almost anything else. And users get to see a lot of information about each device, including what operating system it’s running, its connection status, what it communicates with, where it’s located and any known vulnerabilities, such as a weak default password.
In addition, devices can be checked against an organization’s computerized maintenance management system to ensure that the right device is installed and that nothing is missing.
Clinical Defender insights can be invaluable in budgetary planning, providing evidence about future needs and requirements. The insights could also help to justify spending where it would most improve operations or patient care while avoiding wasting money on things that don’t contribute much to operational efficiency.
