You’d be hard pressed to find someone in charge of an enterprise’s information security efforts who finds it easy to monitor all the connected devices sitting on the network. New York-based Axonius understands this, which is why it created a platform that allows CISOs to automatically boot these devices off a network if they don’t fit with the enterprise’s security policies.

The ability to find and secure devices, from MRIs to glucose meters and to alert a hospital of anomalies requires security that understands clinical networks.” The company says the platform considers not just basic indicators like IP addresses, but also context such as the device’s model and purpose.
