Medical technology

Galvanic isolation is a double argument here: security, and fiber neither picking up nor radiating interference near diagnostic equipment.

The problem

What makes it hard

Measurements and image data have to leave a medical technology network whose equipment cannot be updated without recertification, and reach records and analysis systems.

The requirement that the protected domain stay unchanged — the equipment must not be patched — makes compensating controls the whole strategy rather than a complement to patching.
