As part of the continued momentum for 2021, CyberMDX is introducing a new paradigm for medical network and device security called Device-Centric Risk Management (DCRM). The new architecture will center on a layered approach to cybersecurity that protects each device, driving remediation and mitigation directly on your medical and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) assets.

In addition, CyberMDX has gone live with a rebranded website which provides a wide range of educational and technical resources on healthcare security. The company also introduces its new tagline: We protect the Things that protect Human Lives.

“Following a year of tremendous growth for us in 2020, we are now ready for the next phase of our global go-to-market strategy,” says Amir Magner, president and co-founder of CyberMDX. “Azi has a proven track record for accelerating companies in their growth stage so I’m delighted he has joined us as our new CEO. He will be based in our NY headquarters and I will be collaborating closely with him from our Product, R&D and Operations center in Tel Aviv.”

“It’s a great privilege to join CyberMDX,” says Azi Cohen, CEO of CyberMDX. “It’s clear from the major increase of ransomware attacks against hospitals and medical networks, that we must raise the bar for cybersecurity in the industry as a whole. For me, this was a big part of my decision to join. In addition to an amazing product and team, the primary mission to protect the things that protect human lives is one that compels me and has personal significance.”

On top of the company’s leading solution, CyberMDX also employs a highly accomplished vulnerability research and analyst team. The team regularly works with medical device manufacturers, healthcare organizations, as well as government bodies in the responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. The threat intelligence team dedicates its efforts to defending hospitals and healthcare organizations from malicious attacks and in 2020 alone responsibly disclosed major vulnerabilities in medical devices such as patient monitors, 104 different radiological devices, as well as Dell Thin Wyse devices common to healthcare organizations.
