Healthcare providers need to securely exchange patient data while complying with regulations.

Governments and global authorities are always looking to improve health services, and part of these efforts include collection of sensitive and private data to use for both to keep track of everyone health history and to create a solid base for todays mostly AI driven healthcare researches.

Abundance on data, does not make it anonymous until processed accordingly. All data generated from a patient medical diagnosis belongs to this patient, until approved. Thus moving this data from one repository to another need to have required security measures.

One of the most important security precautions is to protect original datastore from any kind of attack. Data leaving the initial store must not be exposed to any open channel, or create any hole in security chain that would be prone to attack. This approach ensures patient data to travel integral and keep the infrastructure secure

Center for Internet Security developed the CIS Controls v8.1 for ICS—a specialized framework designed to help cybersecurity posture using practical, prioritized defensive measures

The CIS Controls for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) is a globally recognized cybersecurity framework developed by the Center for Internet Security. It provides a prioritized set of defensive actions specifically tailored for operational technology (OT) environments, guiding asset owners in securing critical infrastructure like manufacturing plants, power grids, water treatment facilities, and more. The v8.1 ICS edition maps these actions to the unique risks and constraints of ICS, including real-time system requirements, legacy components, and safety-critical operations.

ICS environments face increasingly frequent and sophisticated cyber threats—from ransomware that halts production to state-sponsored attacks targeting energy systems. The CIS Controls v8.1 provides a practical, tested roadmap for resilience, covering everything from asset inventory and configuration management to secure data flow and audit logging.

ConnexOne, our high-assurance, hardware-enforced unidirectional gateway, plays a pivotal role in achieving the goals laid out in the CIS Controls v8.1 ICS guide. While many safeguards rely on policies or software enforcement, ConnexOne offers physically enforced data integrity by ensuring that information flows only one way—from ICS to enterprise, never back. This unidirectional flow is vital in scenarios where confidentiality, system integrity, and availability are non-negotiable.

NERC CIP requires that critical infrastructure entities comply with stringent security controls, ConnexONE helps companies complies with NERC regulations.

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation is responsible for ensuring the reliability and security of the bulk power system across North America. As part of this mission, NERC develops and enforces the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards, which detail essential cybersecurity controls.

Entities registered with NERC, such as utilities, transmission operators, and electric generation companies, must comply with these standards. NERC CIP standards address a wide range of security aspects including asset identification, network perimeter protection, secure system management, incident response, and supply chain risk mitigation. The ultimate goal is to protect North American Bulk Electric System (BES) operations from outages, equipment damage, and other threats caused by cyberattacks.

Data diodes are critical for ISO 27001 compliance, providing unidirectional data flow to prevent unauthorized access and data exfiltration.

ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognized standard for managing information security, aimed at helping organizations protect their information assets such as financial data, intellectual property, and personal information.

It specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS), emphasizing risk management and continual improvement.

Key components of ISO 27001 include a systematic approach to managing sensitive information, identifying and treating risks, and implementing specific security controls. The standard is used across various industries to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, enhance customer trust, and provide a competitive advantage. It also supports operational efficiency, business continuity, and third-party assurance.

Data diodes are critical for ISO 27001 compliance, providing unidirectional data flow to prevent unauthorized access and data exfiltration. By enforcing strict network segmentation, data diodes isolate sensitive information, ensuring robust access control and secure communication channels. This hardware-enforced security mechanism protects against sophisticated cyber threats and ensures the integrity and confidentiality of critical data.
