Main Article Content
Abstract
The importance of the information security contained in the medical equipment of a Hospital System (HS) is crucial for monitoring the patient's health status. The HS relies on increasingly technologically advanced equipment due to the scope of the results; these are connected to the HS network. Without proper control in administration, they can be vulnerable to cyberattacks, disrupting the normal functioning of the hospital network and compromising a patient's medical history, endangering their health. The medical interest arises in protecting the Operational Technology (OT) equipment, which supports real-time industrial and critical processes within an HS, in order to safeguard patient information. Hospital Solca Quito will conduct a vulnerability analysis using the Tenable OT tool, identifying assets, risks, and immediate actions, enabling working in a secure way.
