New features aim to reduce the time required to address medical device vulnerabilities by 75% on average.
Trimedx has introduced new agentic artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities within its TMX Protect platform to help health systems identify, prioritize, and address medical device cybersecurity risks. The updates reduce the remediation time for cybersecurity projects by an average of 75%, according to the company.
The release of these capabilities addresses a growing challenge for health systems, as more than 50% of connectable medical devices have known critical vulnerabilities. Additionally, 99% of hospitals manage connected devices with known, exploited vulnerabilities. The TMX Protect platform is designed to provide greater visibility into these risks, helping cybersecurity teams determine where to focus their efforts.
Natural-Language Prompts and Accuracy
The platform combines medical device cybersecurity data, risk intelligence, and workflow capabilities. It delivers up to 95% identification and matching accuracy across connected medical devices. The new agentic AI capabilities allow users to interact with this intelligence using natural-language prompts, which helps quickly surface the information needed to assess risk and take action.
Healthcare cybersecurity teams can use the platform to ask questions about connected devices, identify which assets present the greatest risk, generate reports and risk assessments, and prioritize remediation efforts based on both cybersecurity and clinical considerations. The platform also helps organizations track remediation activities and identify mitigation strategies for vulnerabilities that may not have a manufacturer-approved patch.
Actionable Insights for Security
“Health systems are managing an increasingly complex landscape of connected medical devices and cybersecurity threats. With more than 50% of connected medical devices having a known critical vulnerability, teams need better ways to identify and prioritize risk,” says Srilekha Akula, Trimedx chief data and AI officer, in a release. “The new agentic AI capabilities within TMX Protect help turn large volumes of device and vulnerability data into actionable insights, enabling teams to prioritize what matters most and take steps that strengthen security while supporting patient care.”
By combining AI-native insights with cybersecurity expertise and proprietary data, the platform enables health systems to take a proactive, risk-based approach to protecting connected devices. The updates also aim to help cybersecurity analysts work more efficiently by streamlining risk reduction planning and accelerating access to information.
