Enhanced Security OWCD How to Use in Medical Institutions
Data Diode OWCD Series
The number of ransom demands and suspension of medical services due to ransomware infections is increasing. As IT advances, the risks also grow. Don't forget to implement effective intrusion prevention measures.
In security measures, it is said that "Zero Trust" is sufficient and that boundary control for preventing unauthorized intrusions is outdated, but is that really the case? In the end, there are security holes somewhere that can be exploited, leading to intrusions, requiring days to reboot the system and restore data, during which medical services are halted—this often makes the news. The physical data diode OWCD provides hassle-free boundary control, but did you know there are actually two ways to use it? One is to protect the core without allowing intrusions. The other is to ensure that "nothing goes out," preventing actual damage. By combining it with access authentication and virus intrusion detection mechanisms, you can enhance the overall availability of your hospital's medical management system and protect medical services. Government agencies and major system integrators are rapidly increasing their use of OWCD to effectively reduce costs. Companies that sell access authentication and virus intrusion detection functions are simply remaining silent. We encourage your company to consider utilizing the physical data diode OWCD.

basic information
The IT system of a hospital is composed of various overlapping systems such as diagnostic medical devices, medical records, and medical administration. Access authentication for convenient use, along with mechanisms for detecting virus intrusions on devices directly connected to external networks, as well as boundary controls to prevent hijacking of medical record systems and diagnostic devices and to protect backup data, are extremely important. Intruders aim to take something back (or manipulate it) for a specific purpose. Without a route, targeted damage does not occur. However, even with the same boundary control, mistakes or forgetfulness can happen since it is done through software settings like firewalls. Each time personnel or systems change, and each time a virus protection patch is released, maintenance of settings is necessary, making it difficult to predict when mistakes might occur... management and costs are quite challenging. A physical data diode is a mechanism that restricts communication to one direction (unidirectional) on an electronic circuit, preventing any backflow. User settings and security patches are irrelevant. For those in charge of critical infrastructure such as government agencies, power plants, and transportation systems, as well as various research institutions, adoption is being decided one after another. The medical system is also critical infrastructure, so please consider incorporating it.
