It's not odd to see old machining centers that would cost half a million to replace (looking at you, @MitsubishiHVAC) running Windows 95, with no upgrade path, and steadily running out of compatible replacement hardware.
"Feel like they're getting in the way"... until a failure at IT security ends up being life-threatening itself, like cancelling all surgery appointments because the hospital's down with ransomware.

Correct. Post WannaCry I suspect hospitals are starting to wake up to this problem. Their risk isn’t (just) losing patient data, it’s someone hosing their entire network.
-
1. hospitals may NOT patch/update/use antivirus/have proxy,but must be 24/7 online require of the manufacturer 2. PC with medical records shouldn't be connected with public internet,but it is and you open/download too much 3. ehealth and digital want data=no need security/privacy
-
I don’t think that’s accurate, not all manufacturers have those kind of requirements. If you have devices like that, segregation is key.
-
It's in the contract, and many CISO at the hospitals complain about that . Most manufacturars requiet it. The segregation can be the key,if you don't aloud that employee can open social media,listen spotify, read private e-mail using medical device and connect to mobiel phones
-
It sounds like there may be insecurity creep here. These devices do exist but they’re in the minority, you shouldn’t have everything without patching, people browsing the internet from those devices etc.
-
That is what I am talking about -also new devices and ehealth/digital/smart health that connect everything. MRI, or small devices all connected to mobile phone/tablet/pc that is connectent do public internet.
