At GE Healthcare we're committed to providing technologies to
help you excel every day. The LOGIQ E9 Ultrasound system is
designed with you, your specialty, and your patients in mind
offering extraordinary image quality, easy workflow, and expert
tools to help you provide the best patient care.
Since the LOGIQ E9 is integrated into your data network, GE
wants to ensure that you are comfortable with the proactive
measures we are taking to secure the product. Below are some
activities and measures that we have performed and
implemented to help secure the LOGIQ E9.
1. Only communication ports that are needed for the LOGIQ
E9 to operate are enabled. All other operating system
communication ports (such as port 4444, which was used by
the MSBlast virus) are disabled.
Ports remaining opened are:
• Port 104 is used for DICOM communication only.
2. All operating system services that are not used by the
system application software (such as DCOM, Windows
Messenger Service, and UPnP) are disabled to help ensure
that the source of security vulnerabilities is minimized.
3. The operating system is locked down to prevent a user from
loading software, opening email, or using a web browser
and introducing viruses or Trojan horses to the system.
4. The "auto run" feature is disabled on the system. For
instance, when a DVD or USB memory stick that has a
program that runs automatically is inserted, the system will
not open or run the program.
5. Our Engineering team performs a security scan on the
LOGIQ E9 system using the same tools that major
organizations and hospital IT organizations use to check for
vulnerabilities on their networks. Failures that are detected
during this test process are corrected as expediently as
possible and are deployed to our installed base customers.
