Cynerio and Check Point Software Technologies have announced a partnership to provide healthcare organisations with security for their medical IoT devices. Cynerio’s 360 platform will provide functionality critical to securing healthcare IoT devices including device discovery, patch guidance, microsegmentation and attack detection. By pairing this functionality with threat prevention and remediation technologies provided by Check Point Quantum IoT Protect, healthcare organisations will receive the complete device security protections they are seeking.

“The global healthcare industry continues to see increasing attacks resulting in impacted patient care, multi-million dollar recovery costs, and exposed patient records numbering in the tens of millions,” says Cynerio CEO Leon Lerman. “We are excited to partner with Check Point to provide healthcare organisations with a comprehensive solution that will secure their medical IoT devices. This partnership joins Cynerio’s skilled in medical IoT security and Check Point’s market-leading threat prevention technology. Together, we will help healthcare organisations protect their patients, data and operations from cyber threats.”

The integration of the Cynerio and Check Point solutions provides healthcare organisations with advanced medical IoT protections:

• Visibility: Cynerio’s 360 Platform provides healthcare organisations with a view of all their connected medical devices, including their location, configuration, and vulnerabilities. This visibility helps organisations to identify and prioritise security risks.
• Network level protections: Cynerio’s deep packet inspection technology uses generative AI to analyse traffic patterns, create security policies and automatically test those policies prior to deployment.
• Threat prevention: Check Point Quantum IoT Protect uses AI/ML and behavioral analysis to identify and prevent attacks on IoT devices. This helps to protect organisations from known and unknown threats.
• IoT attack detection: Cynerio’s attack detection and response offering will allow the paired products to detect active attacks missed by traditional technologies respond to those attacks.
• Remediation: When a threat is detected, Check Point Quantum IoT Protect can automatically remediate the issue, such as by blocking malicious traffic or isolating the affected device. This helps to minimise the impact of a security incident.

The integration of Cynerio’s 360 Platform and Check Point Quantum IoT Protect is available now. For more information, please visit here and here.
