CyberMDX, a leading cybersecurity provider in healthcare providing visibility and threat prevention for medical devices and clinical networks, has announced a partnership with Royal Philips, a health technology specialist, to integrate CyberMDX’s Healthcare Security Suite into Philips’ newly introduced integrated cybersecurity services
The proliferation of millions of connected medical devices enables users and networks to share, search, navigate, manage, compare and analyse virtually unlimited data flows that enhance care outcomes. However, ensuring the security and privacy of these systems and associated data requires a comprehensive risk-based cybersecurity programme.
Created as a platform for partnerships with healthcare clients, Philips Cybersecurity Services is helping to define and implement strategic and tactical software and device protection.
As part of the partnership, Philips customers will have access to CyberMDX’s leading services, including company mapping and evaluation capabilities, medical device risk assessment, security prioritisation, threat detection and intelligence, intrusion prevention, compliance and governance, and related support. The data and insights collected through CyberMDX form a pivotal foundation for the development and implementation of a full cybersecurity plan for Philips’ customers.
“The size and complexity of modern healthcare networks necessitates a robust multi-tiered security approach,” said Amir Magner, CEO of CyberMDX. “Protecting the integrity of our medical devices so that our healthcare professionals can continue to provide their lifesaving services is our primary mission at CyberMDX, and we believe that our partnership with Philips will be a tremendous asset towards furthering that goal.”
“Philips is pleased to work with CyberMDX to provide health technology customers with vendor-neutral solutions to protect connected medical systems and devices,” said Conrad Smits, head of global services and solutions at Philips. “We look forward to offering integrated services to secure and protect technologies that have the promise to transform healthcare.”
