Forescout acquires medical IoT security company CyberMDX

Posted on by

Silicon Valley cybersecurity company Forescout Technologies said Tuesday that it is acquiring CyberMDX, a medical-device security company known for its research into potential cyberthreats against health care technology. CyberMDX is a natural fit for Forescout, which focuses on securing connected devices and operational technology (OT) for large organizations — including what the industry calls the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Terms of the deal were not disclosed. “Cybersecurity for IoMT, much like cybersecurity for OT devices, requires specific expertise and technologies,” Forescout CEO Wael Mohamed said. “We are pleased to have the CyberMDX team join Forescout as we continue delivering new capabilities on our market-leading platform and grow our R&D center.” Research by CyberMDX has been responsible for shedding light on critical vulnerabilities in widely used medical imaging devices, patient monitors, anesthesia machines and infusion pumps. Forescout’s platform specializes in “device intelligence and network fabric technology,” or finding and classifying […]

Bug could expose patient data from GE medical imaging devices, researchers warn

Posted on by

Security researchers have discovered a software vulnerability that could allow an attacker to steal sensitive patient data from X-ray and MRI machines, or more than 100 models of General Electric medical devices. While there is no evidence that hackers have exploited the vulnerability for their own gain, the flaw points to the recurring issue of health care devices sending patient information over insecure channels. In this case, the maintenance software for the GE medical devices used publicly-exposed login credentials, which could allow attackers to execute code on the devices. “The bigger picture here is authentication and it’s a problem that’s unfortunately typical for medical devices,” said Elad Luz, a researcher at CyberMDX, the medical security company that publicly disclosed the vulnerability on Tuesday. Using the vulnerability to steal patient data would require a malicious hacker to first gain access to a health care organization’s computer network. Actually leveraging the bug […]
