2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report

 
This is an interesting article that relates to HIPAA and the safeguarding of PHI. I actually worked on solving this problem with my current employer a couple years ago and something missing from this article is, why is this happening?

It could be explained as a complex relationship web of conflicting goals between the business units (hospital departments), the network management folks and network security, while this is all true in most cases it is much simpler. The hospitals are (almost) required to network certain devices and medical devices have strict certification requirements (translation: is it expensive, for a device manufacturer, to get a device through certification, therefore, they don't want to change the device). In most devices, any change no matter how minuscule (like a security patch) requires a complete recertification of the device.

There is still no excuse to have any external exposure of medical IOT devices. This is really a network security gap and considering the continually increasing risk factors that unpatched systems are posing, the network teams must work harder to ensure the protection of patient PHI.
