Network Connectivity
Overview
This section of the manual focuses on Privacy and Security
operations and contains information to guide in the preparation
of a secure environment for the Vscan Air ultrasound system.
Security operations is best implemented as part of an overall
“defense in depth” information assurance strategy; this is used
throughout an Information Technology system that addresses
personnel, physical security and technology. The layered
approach of defense in depth limits the risk that the failure of a
single security safeguard will allow compromise of the system.
Network Security
GEHC strongly recommends that medical information systems
are operated in a secure network environment that is protected
from unauthorized intrusion. There are many effective
techniques for isolating and protecting medical information
systems, including implementing firewall protection,
demilitarized zones (DMZs), Virtual Local Area Networks
(VLANs) and network enclaves.
