Securing Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS): Cybersecurity for the Healthcare Sector NIST SP 1800-24

DRAFT NIST SP 1800-24 Securing Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence at the National Institute of Standards and Technology built a laboratory to emulate a medical imaging environment, performed a risk assessment, and identified controls from the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to secure the medical imaging ecosystem. This project used Picture Archiving Communications Systems (PACS) and a Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA), and implemented controls to safeguard medical images from cybersecurity threats. PACS and VNA comprise the systems to centrally manage medical imaging data.

Why buy a book you can download for free? We print the paperback book so you don't have to.

First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour.

It's much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com
