Cooper University Health Care’s Curran Says Cross-Functional Collaboration Was the Key to Securing More Than 10,000 Edge Devices

Cooper University Health Care completed an 18‑month program that lifted device visibility from 25 percent to 100 percent across more than 10,000 IoT and medical devices. The effort relied on passive network‑monitoring tools, rigorous network segmentation, and a new security‑by‑procurement framework. A cross‑functional team of IT, information security, clinical engineering and frontline clinicians drove the initiative, ensuring patient‑care workflows stayed uninterrupted. The project now feeds into a zero‑trust architecture and automated onboarding for future devices.
