Access to the complete library of ASHE monographs and discounts on all publications are included in ASHE membership. Visit ashe.org/ashe-membership now! Cyber-risk mitigation is least expensive and most effective when implemented at the initial planning stage of a project. This monograph introduces best practices to mitigate cyber-risk for mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems. Vulnerabilities to health care MEP cyberthreat include the disabling of a life safety system, equipment damage, disruption of facility operations or a cyber entry point to a larger hospital network. Cyber-risk increases as buildings and equipment become smarter, more connected and more reliant on networks. This document outlines a team approach, starting with the health care organization leadership setting the expectations and cyber-risk mitigation tone for the project. When executive leadership empowers information technology, operational technology and facilities professionals, an effective cyber-risk mitigation plan can be enacted. A thoughtful cyber-risk process addresses the safety, efficiency and compliance goals of the health care facility. This monograph is based on a holistic design and construction process to set up owner operations for success. While it is directed toward new construction projects, the principles may be applicable elsewhere. Looking for the print edition? Click here!
