Claroty, the cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection company, announced at the annual HIMSS24 conference the release of the Advanced Anomaly Threat Detection (ATD) Module within the Medigate Platform from Claroty. The new capability provides healthcare organizations with the clinical context to properly identify, assess, and prioritize threats to connected medical devices, IoT, and building management systems (BMS).
The capabilities of the Advanced ATD Module are built on Claroty’s specialized knowledge of healthcare environments and foundational, in-depth CPS device visibility, including:
- Agentless, clinically-aware threat detection and context to address known indicators of compromise in CPS
- Threat detection at deeper levels of the clinical network beyond areas where firewall solutions are deployed
- Continuous monitoring of device communication hardening measures and compliance controls
According to the Germany-based healthcare network Ortenau Klinikum, with the Advanced ATD Module, “We now know what is in our network at any given minute. Especially with our medical devices, it has turned what was once a blurry picture into a high-quality one.”

As connectivity in healthcare environments expands, cyberattacks against the healthcare industry continue to increase year over year, impacting medical devices as well as BMS that keep hospital operations running. In fact, according to Claroty‘s 2023 Global Healthcare Cybersecurity Study, 78% of healthcare organizations experienced at least one cybersecurity incident over the last year and 60% of these incidents had a moderate or severe impact on patient care delivery.
Not only is the proliferation of attacks driving healthcare organizations to adopt stronger cybersecurity postures, but the changing regulatory environment is another factor driving change. For example, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently published Healthcare and Public Health (HPH) Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPGs) that include a measure specifically for detecting and responding to relevant threats and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP), to “ensure organizational awareness of and ability to detect relevant threats and TTPs at endpoints” and to “ensure organizations are able to secure entry and exit points to its network with endpoint protection.”
