Medigate
Medigate is an Israeli medical device and clinical IoT security company that provides visibility, threat detection, and risk management for connected medical devices and healthcare infrastructure.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Medigate developed a purpose-built security platform for healthcare environments that discovers, classifies, and monitors connected medical devices (infusion pumps, imaging systems, patient monitors, etc.) and clinical IoT assets across hospital networks. The platform uses deep packet inspection, device fingerprinting, and clinical workflow context to identify devices, assess their risk posture, detect anomalous behavior, and enforce network segmentation policies—without disrupting patient care.
Commercially, Medigate competed in the healthcare IoT security market alongside Claroty (which it merged with in 2022), Cynerio, Armis, and Forescout/CyberMDX. Its differentiation centered on the depth of clinical device protocol understanding, the ability to map device-to-clinical-workflow relationships, and purpose-built healthcare context that generic IoT security platforms lack. In 2022, Medigate merged with Claroty, combining Medigate's healthcare specialization with Claroty's broader OT/IoT security platform.
From a defense and national security perspective, medical device security is directly relevant to military healthcare infrastructure protection—including military hospitals, field hospitals, and veterans affairs facilities. Connected medical devices in defense healthcare environments represent attack surfaces for adversaries targeting military medical readiness. The underlying device discovery, network segmentation, and anomaly detection capabilities also transfer broadly to critical infrastructure protection for any IoT-dense environment. Dual-use evaluation should assess the platform's adaptability beyond healthcare to military-specific IoT/OT environments and integration with defense cybersecurity architectures.
Dual-Use Assessment
Medical device and clinical IoT security directly applies to protecting military hospital infrastructure, VA healthcare facilities, and defense medical readiness. Device discovery and network segmentation capabilities transfer to broader military IoT/OT security.
