Case Study: a leading medical device company secures thousands of connected imaging devices with Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall

a major medical device company secures 7,000 MRI devices with Forcepoint

An industry-leading medical device company faced the critical challenge of securing its internet-connected medical imaging devices from cyber threats. The company needed a solution that would protect these devices without requiring any changes to the legacy software on the devices themselves. Forcepoint proposed using its Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) to address this security gap.

Forcepoint implemented its NGFWs by placing them on the network in front of each connected medical device. This provided stable, centrally managed security without disrupting the devices. The results included an easy rollout and the ability to manage and update thousands of firewalls globally. Forcepoint's solution has begun securing 7,000 MRI devices, with the potential to extend protection to hundreds of thousands of Internet of Things devices across the company's product line.
