Healthcare organizations face a critical cybersecurity crisis: 53% of medical devices contain known critical vulnerabilities, 60% lack OEM-validated patches, and ransomware attacks increased 30% in 2025. With the cost of high-impact cyber attacks, such as ransomware attacks, far exceeding $10 million per incident, and growing connectivity creating ever-expanding attack surfaces, healthcare organizations need a specialized cybersecurity approach.

Traditional IT security strategies fail for medical devices. Unlike standard systems, medical devices involve 1,000-plus OEM manufacturers, must avoid patient care disruptions and require clinical engineering expertise alongside cybersecurity.  

In this webinar, Trimedx’s Senior Vice President of Cybersecurity Scott Trevino will reveal how healthcare organizations can build an effective, closed-loop cybersecurity program designed specifically for medical device environments.  

Attendees Will Learn:

• Why medical device security differs from traditional IT security.  
• A proven six-pillar framework covering inventory management, risk mitigation, vulnerability detection, incident response, recovery and governance.  
• Real-world case study: How one health system responded to a major OEM cyber incident with zero patient disruption.  
• Practical steps to gain visibility, quantify risk and implement sustainable remediation programs.
