Compensating security measures are therefore especially important: complete visibility of devices and their communication, risk-based network segmentation, restrictive access controls and continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities and suspicious behaviour. Security must be improved without affecting availability and medical processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ea-card  sp-ea-single\"  data-accordion-id= \"6\">\n\n\t\t<h3 class=\"ea-header\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"collapsed\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse201456\" href=\"#\" data-title=\"efaq-how-can-we-gain-an-overview-of-which-iomt-devices-exist-in-our-network-and-which-of-them-pose-a-security-risk\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t<i class=\"ea-expand-icon fa ea-font-icon-plus_regular\"><\/i>  How can we gain an overview of which IoMT devices exist in our network and which of them pose a security risk?\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse spcollapse\" id=\"collapse201456\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-20145\">\n\t\t<div class=\"ea-body\"> \n<div class=\"ea-content-wrapper \"> \n\t<p>The basis is the most automated possible detection and classification of connected medical devices, including manufacturer, device type, communication behaviour, known vulnerabilities and network relationships.
