Just Published! Final NIST Telehealth Smart Home Integration Cybersecurity White Paper
Now Available! NIST Cybersecurity White Paper: Mitigating Cybersecurity and Privacy Risks in Telehealth Smart Home Integration
The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has published the final version of NIST Cybersecurity White Paper (CSWP) 34, Mitigating Cybersecurity and Privacy Risks in Telehealth Smart Home Integration.
About the White Paper
Hospital-at-Home (HaH) is a form of telehealth where patients receive clinical care and monitoring from their homes. By integrating information systems outside the hospital’s direct control, HaH introduces privacy and cybersecurity risks. For example, HaH programs sometimes use consumer-grade Internet of Things (IoT) devices in their homes, such as voice assistants (e.g., smart speakers), as part of a broader “smart home” ecosystem.
NIST’s newly finalized cybersecurity white paper introduces a notional, high-level smart home integration reference architecture to better understand and address these risks. Building on NIST’s prior work in telehealth security, the white paper examines privacy and cybersecurity risks...
