Intel Security and Onyx to Provide Purpose Built Security for Internet of Things in the Medical Industry

Security Technologies Chosen as Standard for
Onyx Systems and Their Patient Information Protection
Intel Security today announced it is collaborating with Onyx
Healthcare to integrate Intel Security technologies into Onyx’s
product lines, which include McAfee Application Control™ with
ePolicy Orchestrator™ and McAfee Complete Data Protection™. They
will be integrated into all Onyx’s systems in order to help Onyx
meet HIPPA and HiTech compliance regulations and better protect
their customers brands as well as Electronic Patient critical
information. Intel Security will become the preferred security
provider for Onyx, underscoring Intel Security’s leadership
position in the healthcare sector and Internet of Things (IoT)
connected devices.
McAfee Application Control is designed to only allow trusted
applications to run on devices after they are deployed either in an
enterprise or a remote location. The solution helps prevent
unauthorized changes to the control device and issues alerts in the
event of unwanted change attempts. The technology’s powerful
combination of features provides enhanced protection for devices
against zero-day attacks, reduces in-field breakage, and limits the
patching cycles typical of other security approaches.
McAfee Complete Data Protection is intended to protect Onyx
systems with powerful data encryption. Significantly, the
technology also controls and monitors access to the systems that
contain confidential patient data.
“As we enter the IoT world, networked healthcare systems are
increasingly coming under attack because of the valuable
information they contain, so something has to change,” said Tom
Moore, Vice President of WW Embedded Sales. “These technologies
will change the status quo, because standard antivirus does not
protect against zero-day attacks, insider attacks, or local
hospital staff who make errors or do not adhere to security
policies, and medical devices may not be regularly updated because
they are not always on the network.”
“Protecting not only our devices but also our customers’
valuable personal information that resides on them is a priority –
now more than ever,” said John Chuang, Americas President of Onyx.
“The patient is the center of our universe. At Onyx, we design our
systems around the patient experience. If patients cannot trust our
systems to protect their valuable personal information, then that
experience is ruined. By integrating advanced security features
provided by a trusted leader such as Intel Security, Onyx is
uniquely positioned to deliver systems for hospitals and patients
to use globally.”
In conjunction with the Atlantic Council, Intel Security
recently launched a study of the security of networked medical
devices. The report, titled The Healthcare Internet of Things:
Rewards and Risks, is available here.
