Medigate Again Named to Constellation ShortList for Healthcare Medical Device Security
Summary
As a result, they become a backdoor for attackers and, once in, they can manipulate the device, spread ransomware, and steal the black market’s most valuable target - patient records,” said Jonathan Langer, co-founder and CEO of Medigate. Being named to the first Constellation ShortList of the year, after consistent inclusion in 2019, reinforces the value that Medigate is bringing to the industry as we aim to stay ahead of an ever-increasing number of security threats.” With cyberattacks on connected devices only increasing, organizations implementing generic IoT solutions to secure their medical devices are unknowingly leaving themselves open to risk since medical device protection is a unique problem that requires clinical context for success. Products and services named to the Constellation ShortList meet the threshold criteria for this category as determined through client inquiries, partner conversations, customer references, vendor selection projects, market share and internal research. The portfolio is updated at least once per year as the analyst team deems necessary based on market conditions. Medigate fuses the knowledge and understanding of medical workflow and device identity and protocols with the reality of today’s cybersecurity threats.
