GateScanner Imaging Gateway
GateScanner Imaging Gateway – Securing the healthcare network
As the digitization of healthcare expands, the demand increases for online transmission of radiological data – either directly from patients, or from partnering clinics. This transfer, frequently beginning with portable media devices uploading unchecked data directly into institutional portals or to the PACS, constitutes a major vulnerability for the healthcare network. DICOM files in transit represent a broad attack vector – accessible to practically anyone – and therefore a cause of great concern for IT security teams.
GateScanner® Imaging Gateway offers safe uploading of imaging files – X-ray, ultrasound, MRI and CT scans – to the PACS and RIS, from networked sources or from any type of portable media, via physical uploading stations or via web portals. GateScanner performs proprietary DICOM file deconstruction and multi-AV deep-threat scans on all incoming DICOM files, including the included viewer software. Safe DICOM files are produced, devoid of any malware yet preserving the full integrity of the clinical data.
At the same time, the gateway communicates with the healthcare network’s HIS/RIS/EHR systems to verify patient identity and optimize the incoming DICOM file’s metadata to the receiving network – enabling automated import, reducing overhead and minimizing human error.
Main Features:
- Proprietary multi-AV scanning and disarming of DICOM files
- Identity verification against healthcare provider's HIS/RIS
- Hardened system appliance (kiosk) preventing external tampering, executing 'return to zero-state' after each upload
- Web-portal for remote uploading with simple, user friendly, multi-language UI
- Secure file sharing with central management and configuration of users, stations and scanning parameters with detailed reporting
- Highly scalable solution, simply by adding additional kiosks and licenses
