About CyberMDX

CyberMDX, founded in 2016, specializes in cybersecurity solutions tailored for the healthcare sector, specifically focusing on the security of medical devices and clinical assets. The company was established by Amir Magner and Moti Shniberg. Magner's background includes over two decades in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, where he concluded his service as the head of the Cyber Division. Shniberg previously co-founded the facial recognition startup Face.com, which was acquired by Facebook in 2012. This venture into healthcare cybersecurity was driven by a mission to protect critical healthcare infrastructure from digital threats.

The firm's primary clients are healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs), such as hospitals and clinics, that rely on a vast network of connected devices. The business operates in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) security market. In February 2022, CyberMDX was acquired by Forescout Technologies, a company specializing in active defense for the Enterprise of Things, for an estimated $80 million. This acquisition was intended to bolster Forescout's capabilities in the rapidly growing healthcare technology sector.

CyberMDX's core offering is its Healthcare Security Suite, a cloud-based platform designed to provide visibility and threat prevention for medical devices. The solution is agentless, meaning it does not require software to be installed on the individual medical devices it protects, which simplifies deployment. Its key features include continuous, real-time discovery and inventory of all connected medical devices on a network. The platform performs comprehensive risk assessments for each device, analyzing vulnerabilities, potential attack vectors, and their operational importance. It utilizes AI-powered threat detection to identify malicious activity and offers containment and response measures, such as creating micro-segmentation policies to isolate threats. The system provides a centralized dashboard for viewing and prioritizing device security, enabling healthcare organizations to manage risks based on severity and criticality to patient safety and operations.
