Connected Medical Devices
Protect infusion pumps, patient monitors, ventilators, clinical workstations, surgical systems, and other network connected equipment supporting diagnosis and treatment.
Healthcare
Protecting the Systems Behind Patient Care
Healthcare delivery depends on an interconnected environment of medical devices, clinical systems, hospital infrastructure, and third party services. Dawon provides the operational intelligence, threat detection, compliance and risk management, and response capabilities required to protect these systems without disrupting patient care.

Patient Care Defines Cyber Risk
Healthcare Cybersecurity Cannot Be Evaluated Through Technical Severity Alone
The importance of a device or system depends on the clinical service it supports, its role in patient care, and the consequences if it becomes unavailable or compromised. Hospitals must secure a diverse technology environment while maintaining continuous access to essential clinical services.
Connected Clinical Environments
Medical devices, diagnostic platforms, clinical applications, facility systems, and external services exchange data across shared infrastructure, creating complex operational dependencies.
Long Medical Device Lifecycles
Many clinical devices remain in service for extended periods and may have restricted update options, proprietary software, or dependencies on OEM approved maintenance procedures.
Patient Safety Considerations
Cybersecurity actions such as scanning, isolation, patching, or containment must be evaluated carefully to avoid interrupting treatment or affecting the safe operation of medical equipment.
Shared Operational Responsibility
Healthcare IT, clinical engineering, biomedical teams, facilities, security operations, and external vendors often manage different parts of the same connected environment.
Third Party and Remote Access
Manufacturers, maintenance providers, laboratories, technology suppliers, and service partners may require access to critical systems, introducing additional identity, access, and supply chain risks.

- Clinical dependency between a domain and patient care
- The security layer, continuous across every domain
A domain matters here in proportion to the clinical service it carries, and the security layer does not stop at any one of them.
Security Intelligence Across Connected Healthcare
Dawon Establishes a Shared Operational Understanding
That understanding runs across medical devices, healthcare technology, and hospital infrastructure. It enables security teams to prioritize action according to patient care impact.
Asset Intelligence
Develop contextual intelligence across connected medical devices, IoMT systems, clinical platforms, facility technology, and supporting infrastructure. Organize systems by department, clinical function, manufacturer, technology profile, and operational importance.
Dependency Mapping
Map communications and dependencies between medical devices, diagnostic platforms, clinical applications, facility systems, and external services. Understand how the disruption of one system could affect wider care delivery.
Risk Prioritization
Evaluate vulnerabilities and exposures against device function, clinical location, service criticality, compensating controls, and potential impact on patient care, not technical severity alone.
Threat and Change Detection
Identify abnormal communications, unauthorized devices, unexpected external connections, configuration changes, and activity that deviates from established clinical and operational patterns.
Access and Segmentation Assurance
Assess communication paths between clinical, enterprise, facility, and third party environments. Support segmentation decisions without obstructing legitimate clinical workflows or approved device communications.
Incident Readiness and Response
Develop response procedures for ransomware, compromised medical devices, unauthorized remote access, facility system disruption, and third party incidents. Response decisions remain informed by clinical dependencies and care continuity requirements.
How an Action Reaches a Clinical Environment
Operating sequence
- Understand
- Detect
- Evaluate Clinical Impact
- Coordinate Response
- Preserve Care Continuity
Every containment, isolation or patching decision passes through this step before it reaches a device in clinical use.

Where it applies
Diagnostics and Medical Imaging
Monitor the systems and communication pathways supporting radiology, pathology, imaging equipment, PACS, laboratory platforms, and diagnostic workflows.
Pharmacy and Clinical Automation
Establish security intelligence across medication dispensing systems, pharmacy automation, laboratory analyzers, sterilization systems, and other automated clinical support processes.
Hospital Facilities and Operational Technology
Secure building management systems, HVAC, electrical distribution, backup power, medical gas monitoring, elevators, access control, surveillance, and environmental systems that support safe hospital operations.
Distributed Care Networks
Provide consistent intelligence and governance across hospitals, clinics, laboratories, diagnostic centres, remote care environments, and other geographically distributed healthcare facilities.
Medical Device Lifecycle
Security Throughout the Medical Device Lifecycle
Cybersecurity responsibilities continue from device evaluation and procurement through deployment, clinical use, maintenance, and retirement.
Seven Stages, Three Responsibilities That Never Stop
