Medigate is an israeli startup company focused on securing the safe operation of connected medical devices.
We all share a similar background in the IDF intelligence force, with advanced cyber security training.
The rest of our team is composed of security researchers and developers with similar backgrounds.
The company has been funded by YL ventures and Blumberg capital.
Essentially, Medigate is a cyber security company focused on connected medical devices.
We identify medical devices in clinical environments as our sole focus.
Medical devices are being increasingly attacked.
Whether targeted or untargeted, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in incidents revolving around these devices.
How does Medigate work?
We are able to see all the connected devices in that environment.
Different medical devices behave in different ways, each having its own very specific clinical patterns.
We dont just provide information, but we also take action through integration with partners and technical alliances.
One example is the Palo Alto web connection Firewall.
What are the risks of having unprotected connected medical devices?
The risk is highly significant.
We’re also witnessing a rising issue in another area - the theft of medical information and identity theft.
We havent seen this happen yet but its a risk we are well aware of.
Are these connected medical devices worth the security risk?
How do you foresee the future of connected medical devices?
As for the future, I’m optimistic.
