Dispel joins White House-backed Project Lifeline 250 to secure remote access at rural hospitals
Dispel, a secure remote access vendor, is participating in Project Lifeline 250, a White House-backed six-month pilot launched October 26 to strengthen cybersecurity at rural hospitals in South Carolina. The program aims to secure network-connected medical and building systems that third-party vendors service remotely, addressing a gap where many devices cannot run security agents or enforce multifactor authentication (MFA) locally. Dispel will provide zero-trust remote access controls, session monitoring, and device isolation to help rural hospitals with limited IT staff govern vendor access and maintain operations after cyberattacks.
Why it matters: Rural hospital IT teams and biomedical staff need to reduce third-party access risk: third parties were involved in 32 percent of healthcare breaches according to Verizon's 2026 report, and many legacy medical devices lack native security controls, making remote access the critical control point.
