Dispel Joins White House-Backed Project Lifeline 250 to Secure Rural Hospital Remote Access
Dispel, a vendor of Secure Remote Access (SRA) for Operational Technology, announced participation in Project Lifeline 250, a six-month pilot led by the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) and coordinated by the South Carolina Governor's Office and SC CIC to improve cybersecurity resilience at rural hospitals in South Carolina. The initiative, launched October 26 at Newberry Health, follows the earlier Project Watershed 250 in Texas and aims to protect vulnerable hospital devices—such as infusion pumps, imaging systems, HVAC, and badge access systems—that often cannot support agents, MFA, or local logging. Dispel will provide its Zero Trust Engine-based OT Secure Remote Access to ringfence these devices and broker named, time-bound, MFA-protected vendor and biomed staff sessions. The announcement cites Verizon's 2026 DBIR finding that third parties were involved in 32% of healthcare breaches, underscoring third-party remote access as a persistent risk for under-resourced rural hospital IT teams.
Detalhes técnicos
Dispel's platform offers rapid ringfencing of IoT and medical devices via a single monitored pathway, brokered named/time-bound access through its Zero Trust Engine with Moving Target Defense (removing standing entry points), agentless/VPN-less browser or virtual desktop access for vendors and biomed staff, session recording and risk scoring mapped to NIST SP 800-53 and IEC 62443-3-3, NIST IAL2 identity proofing via Dispel Identity, and cloud-managed Rapid-Deploy SaaS for multi-site hospital environments. This builds on Dispel's other public-sector efforts including the Community Power & Water Program (September) and FedRAMP Marketplace listing (July), with FedRAMP 20x certification pending.
