Case Study: Medtronic achieves improved attack-surface awareness and reduced vulnerabilities with NetSPI

Medtronic - Customer Case Study

Medtronic, a global medical device manufacturer, faced the challenge of defending a constantly evolving attack surface to protect patient data and intellectual property. To address blind spots and understand what’s vulnerable across its network perimeter, Medtronic worked with NetSPI for annual penetration tests and ongoing spot-checking over the past four years.

NetSPI provided tailored penetration testing and attack surface management—adapting techniques for medical-device environments and continually redefining Medtronic’s perimeter. As a result, Medtronic gained clearer attack-surface awareness and an improving security posture: even as the amount of attack surface tested grew each year, vulnerabilities have “actually gone down,” demonstrating measurable reduction in exposure thanks to NetSPI’s engagement.
