挑战

The healthcare company faced a significant challenge when it discovered that its existing security controls were bypassed by malware spreading from newly deployed IoT medical devices. These devices, intended for patient monitoring, were observed dropping malware on decoy systems set up by the company. The primary concern was the potential for this malware to spread to other critical systems within the healthcare network, posing a risk to patient data and overall network integrity. The company needed a robust solution to detect and mitigate such threats promptly to ensure the safety and security of its operations.

解决方案

To address the challenge, the healthcare company deployed Attivo's network deception solutions in their production environment. These solutions included default services and virtual machines (VMs) designed to detect and respond to cyber threats effectively. The Attivo solution created decoy systems that mimicked real patient monitoring devices, luring the malware to reveal itself. Once the malware was detected on these decoys, the company was able to trace the source of the infection back to the newly deployed IoT medical devices. This proactive approach allowed the healthcare company to remediate the infection before it could spread to other critical systems, ensuring the integrity and security of their network.
