Chief Security Strategist MedCrypt

Medical device vendors used to be able to ship a device, hope that there were no cybersecurity issues, and address problems as they were found. Today, leading device vendors build security features into their devices before they ship, and win market share as a result. 

MedCrypt brings security features to medical devices, from pacemakers to surgical robots, in a few lines of code. The exponential growth of connected devices in healthcare combined with the FDA mandate to “bake in” security into devices means the best solution is one that secures devices, not the hospital network. MedCrypt is built specifically for medical devices, which means clinical functionality is always the highest priority.
