Meet MEDIGATE, our IoT cybersecurity solution for hospitals and medical centers.
In the hospital and health sector in general, having a modern, advanced, automated, easy-to-use and fully integrated cybersecurity solution with all systems (doctors, computer and personal devices) is a fundamental need that covers the pioneering technology developed by MEDIGATE. Recent attacks targeting IoT (Internet of Things) and MIoT (Medical Internet of Things) systems in hospitals around the world show that it is time to invest in protecting patient information, such as medical records or diagnostic test results, but also in securing diagnostic tools, communications between components and, above all, life-support solutions.
Take automatic inventories and intelligently manage all your devices
How much time per year do you use a radiotherapy device? Which devices work best? Which have the most failures?Are they all equally safe?
If we only have a limited budget, what would be the best way to use it? How many IoT and MIoT devices do we have? Is it possible to upgrade them? At what time should we schedule the most critical maintenance so that it does not affect the hospital’s service? Easily and intuitively turn these and other data into reports to send to the people responsible for the acquisitions, maintenance, security, and operations of each computer or environment. MEDIGATE gives us the answers to these and other similar questions. Thanks to its advanced analytics, you can optimize your operations, investments and the time of your technical support teams.

Successfully address the challenges and risks of managing electronic devices
Technical challenges
- Increased connectivity of both legacy and newer IoMT medical devices.
- There is no such thing as security by design because no one designed an ultrasound scanner to withstand a cyber-attack:)
- There is no updated and integrated online inventory of devices: diagnostic tools, personal and corporate mobiles, PCs, servers, wifi networks, etc. Existing vulnerability scanning tools are irrelevant to the healthcare environment. Who knows how an x-ray device communicates?
- Diversity of manufacturers and devices operating systems and a myriad of dedicated and private protocols unknown in the IT world Lack of manufacturer patches or if there are any, it is unknown if they exist or how they are installed
Challenges for the organization
- Shared responsibility for the security of IoMT medical devices between the IT management of the medical center and the possible departments of systems, infrastructure, IT security… without forgetting service and maintenance companies.
- MiOT devices are mission critical environments. The health and even the life of patients depends on its proper functioning.
- Agent-based solutions are not possible for robotics, imaging systems or employee personal devices.
Addressing concrete threats
- A hospital or local health center has a very large number of attack vectors. A classic server-based antivirus or security doesn’t protect the most valuable and critical assets such as personal data or life support systems
- Easy network access to unknown and potentially dangerous devices
- Devices known to be vulnerable are left unprotected and fully exposed to third-party attacks.
Integration with IT cybersecurity solutions
- Seamlessly integrates with SIEM solutions such as IBM QRadar
- Works in conjunction with Checkpoint IoT security solutions
- It is fully compatible with Forescout
