Case Study: Kantonsspital Baden achieves real-time medical device visibility and stronger audit readiness with Claroty xDome

Kantonsspital Baden secures 1,500 devices and cuts audit prep with Claroty

Kantonsspital Baden (KSB), a technologically advanced Swiss hospital, faced significant challenges managing the security of its connected medical devices. The Head of Medical Technology, Arkadiusz Bak, described the situation as a "blind flight," relying on manual spreadsheets and manufacturer claims for inventory and security patching. This reactive approach made it difficult to prepare for audits and enforce vendor agreements. To address these issues, KSB partnered with the vendor Claroty and implemented its xDome solution to gain real-time visibility and move to a data-driven security strategy.

By deploying Claroty xDome, KSB immediately gained visibility into its network, uncovering previously unknown risks and bridging the gap between its biomed and IT security teams. The solution from Claroty enabled semi-automatic audit preparation, saving weeks of manual work, and provided the data needed to streamline device onboarding and optimize procurement. This data-driven approach helped KSB prevent unnecessary spending and secured executive support for an ambitious goal to reduce the hospital's risk score by 30% over three years, transforming their security posture.
