Venue 50 Security
At GE we’re committed to providing technologies to help you
excel every day. The Venue 50 Ultrasound system is designed
with you, your specialty and your patients in mind offering
extraordinary image quality, easy workflow and expert tools to
help you provide the best patient care.
Since the Venue 50 is integrated into your data network, GE
wants to ensure that you are comfortable with the proactive
measures we are taking to secure the product. Below are some
activities and measures that we have performed and
implemented to help secure the Venue 50.
1. Only communication ports that are needed for the Venue 50
to operate are enabled. All other operating system
communication ports are disabled.
2. Ports remaining opened are:
• Port 104 is used for DICOM communication only.
• Ports 137, 138, 139 and 445 are used for QuickSave
communication only.
• Port 2501 is used for Gateway only.
All operating system services that are not used by the
system application software are disabled to help ensure that
the source of security vulnerabilities is minimized.
3. The operating system is locked down to prevent an operator
from loading software, opening email, or using a web
browser and introducing viruses or Trojan horses to the
system.
4. The “auto run” feature is disabled on the system. For
instance, when a SD card or USB memory stick that has a
program that runs automatically is inserted, the system will
not open or run the program.
5. Our Engineering team performs a security scan on the
Venue 50 system using the same tools that major
organizations and hospital IT organizations use to check for
vulnerabilities on their networks. Failures that are detected
during this test process are corrected as expediently as
possible and are deployed to our installed base customers.
