Kantonsspital Baden Case Study on Medical Device Security

This case study details the technological transformation at Kantonsspital Baden (KSB), a leading Swiss hospital, as it integrates advanced security measures for its medical devices. The document outlines the challenges faced by KSB, including reliance on manual processes for device management and the inability to enforce necessary security updates. It describes how KSB adopted Claroty xDome to transition from a reactive to a proactive security strategy, enhancing visibility and governance across its network of connected medical devices. The case study highlights the benefits realized post-implementation, such as significant time savings in audit preparation, improved device onboarding processes, and enhanced procurement strategies. KSB's approach now includes evidence-based decision-making, which has led to better resource utilization and cost reductions. Furthermore, the case study notes the elevation of security reporting to executive levels, fostering organizational support for ongoing risk management initiatives. KSB aims for a 30% reduction in its risk score over the next three years as part of its commitment to operational excellence.
