Deep dive: Endpoint security in healthcare

A healthcare infosec expert talks why CISOs and CIOs should prioritize unified endpoint management, what a UEM strategy looks like and much more. Through the epidemic, remote healthcare has undoubtedly gained popularity. A single endpoint management solution, according to several healthcare information security professionals, has consequently risen to the top of the priority list for provider companies engaged in telehealth. Security breaches can thrive in isolated healthcare institutions. These can be extremely dangerous, especially if private patient data is revealed. Tablets and smartphones have also evolved into tools for enabling better and quicker patient care as a result of the digital transformation of healthcare. According to Apu Pavithran, CEO and creator of Hexnode, a provider of a unified endpoint management (UEM) platform housed by Mitsogo, this results in a greater reliance on technology and an associated IT overload.
