The Challenge

Connected Devices Are the New Clinical Risk

Healthcare delivers care through networks of connected devices that were never designed with cybersecurity in mind. Infusion pumps, imaging systems, patient monitors, and clinical workstations are mission-critical — and most are invisible to standard security tools.

Traditional IT security tools either can't see these devices or can't interact with them safely. The result is a massive, unmonitored attack surface in the most sensitive possible environment — where a breach doesn't just cost money, it endangers patients.

Threat TypeImpact on HealthcareWhy It's Critical
Ransomware targeting clinical systemsEncrypts EHR systems, imaging infrastructure, and connected devices — halting care delivery and forcing costly manual workaroundsHealthcare is the most targeted sector for ransomware, with average recovery costs exceeding $10M per incident
Unmanaged IoMT attack surfaceThe average hospital has 10–15 connected devices per bed — most unmanaged, unmonitored, and running legacy firmwareMost clinical devices can't run agents and can't tolerate active scanning, leaving them invisible to traditional security tools
Legacy OS and unpatched medical devices78% of connected medical devices run end-of-life operating systems that can't receive security patchesKnown vulnerabilities on unpatched devices are actively exploited — and device manufacturers often can't provide timely fixes
Lateral movement to clinical networksA compromised workstation or imaging system can provide an attacker path to patient monitors, infusion pumps, and critical clinical systemsClinical networks aren't segmented from enterprise IT in most hospitals — one breach can reach patient-safety devices
HIPAA compliance gapsMissing controls on ePHI-adjacent systems, insufficient access monitoring, and incomplete risk assessments create regulatory exposureHHS OCR fines for HIPAA violations have exceeded $100M in recent years — and audits can follow any breach

How ORDR Secures Medical Devices

Built for Clinical Environments

Every capability designed around the reality of healthcare delivery — where security must never compromise care.

Agentless IoMT Discovery

Passively identifies every connected medical device — infusion pumps, imaging systems, patient monitors, ventilators — without agents or scanning

Business Value

Complete clinical device inventory with zero risk to patient safety or device stability

Clinical Context & Risk Enrichment

Correlates devices with FDA recall status, CVE data, manufacturer advisories, and SBOM information for medical device-aware risk scoring

Business Value

Risk prioritization that reflects clinical impact, not just technical severity scores

Behavioral Threat Detection

Establishes communication baselines for clinical devices and alerts on anomalies — unusual destinations, protocol changes, and unexpected peer connections

Business Value

Early threat detection that doesn't disrupt care delivery or device function

Safe Network Segmentation

Generates and validates segmentation policies for clinical networks — isolating high-risk devices while preserving the communication workflows care delivery requires

Business Value

Enforce Zero Trust in clinical environments without risking patient safety or interrupting care

HIPAA-Ready Compliance Documentation

Continuously maps device controls and gaps to HIPAA Security Rule requirements with audit-ready evidence generation

Business Value

Compliance documentation that's always current — not assembled the week before an audit

FDA Cybersecurity Guidance Alignment

Supports documentation and control requirements aligned with FDA premarket and postmarket cybersecurity guidance for connected medical devices

Business Value

Security practices aligned with FDA expectations for healthcare delivery organizations

Why ORDR

Why Healthcare Organizations Choose ORDR

Patient Safety First — Always

Every security control is validated against clinical workflows before enforcement. ORDR never compromises care delivery for security — the two are designed to coexist.

See Every Connected Device

ORDR discovers the complete clinical device inventory — including shadow IT, unregistered IoMT, and legacy equipment — without touching devices or disrupting operations.

Stop Threats Before They Reach Clinical Systems

Behavioral detection identifies anomalies on clinical networks and contains threats before they can reach patient-facing devices or ePHI systems.

HIPAA Compliance That Doesn't Wait for an Audit

Continuous control monitoring maps to HIPAA Security Rule requirements with always-current evidence — so audit preparation is continuous, not a crisis.

Understands Medical Devices Natively

ORDR's clinical intelligence includes FDA recall status, SBOM data, manufacturer advisories, and IoMT-specific vulnerability enrichment that generic IT tools don't have.

No Agents. No Disruption. No Clinical Risk.

Passive deployment with no software installed on clinical devices and no active scanning that could affect device operation. Visibility achieved without touching a single medical device.
