CyberMDX
CyberMDX was an Israeli healthcare IoT/medical device cybersecurity startup that developed an AI-driven platform for discovering, classifying, and protecting connected medical devices and clinical networks from cyber threats.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
CyberMDX built a cybersecurity platform specifically designed for healthcare environments, using AI and deep packet inspection to automatically discover, classify, and assess the risk of connected medical devices (IoMT), IoT devices, and clinical network assets. The platform identified device vulnerabilities, detected anomalous behavior, and provided actionable remediation guidance—enabling hospitals and health systems to protect patient safety and PHI without disrupting clinical workflows.
Commercially, CyberMDX competed in the healthcare IoT security market alongside Medigate (merged with Claroty), Armis, and Cynerio. Founded in 2017 in Tel Aviv by Amir Magner (CEO) and Adi Gavish, the company raised approximately $30M from investors including Pitango Venture Capital, YL Ventures, and OurCrowd. In 2022, Forescout Technologies acquired CyberMDX, integrating its healthcare IoT capabilities into Forescout's device intelligence platform.
From a defense and national security perspective, medical device security is directly relevant to protecting military healthcare facilities, field hospitals, and VA medical systems that rely on networked medical equipment. The ability to discover and secure IoMT devices in clinical environments supports defense health agency cybersecurity and patient safety in military medical operations.
