Biomed Dashboard
The Biomed dashboard provides quick access to statistics
regarding medical IoT device usage, utilization, and risk.

Device Security gathers statistics about medical IoT devices
it’s monitoring, assesses their risk, and displays its findings
on the Biomed dashboard. You can leverage this data to track medical
device inventory and utilization as well as evaluate and address
the risk of medical IoT devices.
To view the Biomed dashboard, make sure Medical Device Security is the
activated vertical theme for your portal and then select
Dashboard and choose Biomed from the
Manage Dashboards drop-down.
The dashboard is organized into three broad sections. At the top is a set of filters for sites
and time ranges. Directly below that is the Medical Assets section, which has a
high-level summary of medical device information and two panels showing top medical
device categories and medical device utilization. At the bottom of the dashboard is the
Compliance Risk section, which has several panels showing potentially risky types of
medical devices.
Medical Assets
At the top of the Medical Assets section is a list of totals for all medical IoT devices, new
medical IoT devices, their vendors, and those medical IoT devices with MDS2 forms.
To provide context for these numbers, the totals for all devices, subnets, and sites
in the network are also provided.
In more detail, the high-level summary contains the following
device statistics:
Total Medical Devices: This is the total number of medical IoT devices
whose traffic was detected on the network at the sites and during the time
range set on the Biomed dashboard. Clicking the total opens the Asset
Inventory page to show entries for all medical devices detected within
the defined site and time-range filters.
New Medical Devices: This is the number of medical devices that Device Security discovered at the specified sites and within—but not
before—the specified time range. Clicking the total opens the
Asset Inventory page to show just entries for the medical devices discovered
within the defined site and time-range filters.
Total Vendors: This is the number
of vendors for medical devices referenced in Total Medical Devices.
Devices with MDS2: This is the number
of medical devices for which Device Security has an MDS2 form.
Total Devices: This shows the total number of devices on the network as
determined by the sites and time range filters set on the Biomed dashboard
and the global filter for device type set on another page such as Devices.
Clicking the number opens the Asset Inventory
page to show device entries matching defined filters for
site, device type, and time range.
Medical Subnets: This is the total number of subnets containing medical
devices as determined by the site and time range filters set on the Biomed
dashboard and the global filter for device type set on another page such as
Devices. Clicking the number opens the Networks page.
Total Sites: This is the absolute total number of sites for the tenant
regardless of the current site and time range filters set on the Biomed
dashboard and the global filter for device type set on another page.
Clicking the number opens the Sites page.
Improve Device Visibility Coverage: This button opens the
Data Quality Diagnostics page (). There you can see the quality of data that
Device Security is receiving. In particular, the page focuses on IP endpoints and
low-confidence devices, how they can lower data quality, and ways to reduce
their numbers through improved network coverage.
The two panels in the Medical Assets section contain information about the main categories of
medical IoT devices and their utilization:
Top Medical Device Categories: This panel lists the medical device
categories and ranks them by device count, with those that contain the
largest number of medical devices at the top. Clicking a category name opens
a new browser window displaying the Assets Inventory page
filtered to show just entries matching this category.
Clicking View All in the lower right opens the
Assets Inventory page filtered to show all medical devices.
Medical Device Utilization: This panel shows all medical IoT categories
and how the devices in each one are being utilized. A bar chart shows the
percentages of time the devices in a category are detected in use, online
but not in active use, and offline. Hover your cursor over a bar to see a
pop-up with numbers for each kind of utilization. Click a medical device
category to open the Assets Inventory page
in a new browser tab or window. The page is filtered to
show devices in the selected category.
Compliance
Risk
This section of the dashboard shows information about
medical IoT devices that affect their risk exposure.
Top End-of-Life Operating Systems: These are devices running an OS version
that the vendor no longer supports with patch updates, making them more
vulnerable to attack. The table shows how many device profiles have devices
with an end-of-life OS and the percent of affected medical devices relative
to all medical devices. Clicking a number in the Devices column opens the
Assets Inventory page filtered to show only devices running this operating
system and version.
Devices with various risk factors are listed. For each one the total number of devices with this
risk and their percent relative to all medical IoT devices are shown.
Clicking View All for the first three opens the
Assets Inventory page with a filter to show just these devices. Clicking
View All for Devices with FDA recalls opens the
page.
Devices
with outdated endpoint protection: These are devices
that have endpoint protection, such as anti-virus protection, but
they haven't communicated with their vendor and haven't been updated
in over a month. This makes them vulnerable to new types of attacks
released since their last update.
Devices without
endpoint protection: These are devices that do not have
any endpoint protection installed on them.
Devices
with PHI: These devices contain personal health information
(PHI).
FDA Recall Instances: This shows the total number of devices that have
been issued a recall order by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because
of a product flaw that affects safety and requires it to be fixed or
replaced.
