Secure connected
medical devices.

Inventory, segmentation, monitoring, and vulnerability management for the connected medical devices and clinical IoT that most IT providers don't know how to handle.

The challenge

What healthcare practices face every day.

Connected medical devices — imaging systems, infusion pumps, patient monitors, diagnostic equipment — are often running legacy firmware with no security controls and no patch path. Each one is a potential entry point.

Unknown Device Inventory

Most practices don't have a complete, accurate inventory of connected clinical devices. You cannot secure what you cannot see. Unmanaged devices on the clinical network are a common and significant vulnerability.

Legacy Firmware & No Patch Path

Many medical devices run firmware that is years or decades out of date and cannot be updated — either because the vendor no longer supports the device or because updating risks FDA clearance. Conventional patching is not possible.

Flat Clinical Network

In most clinical practices, medical devices, clinical workstations, and administrative systems share the same network. A compromise at one device can reach every other system with no barrier.

Ransomware Entry via Medical Devices

Ransomware operators increasingly target medical devices as entry points specifically because they cannot be patched and are rarely monitored. An unprotected infusion pump or imaging system is an open door.

Regulatory & Liability Exposure

Connected medical devices fall under both cybersecurity and patient safety regulations. A device compromise that affects a clinical outcome creates regulatory exposure that extends beyond IT.

No Visibility Into Device Behaviour

Without monitoring, abnormal device behaviour — unexpected network traffic, unusual connections, configuration changes — goes completely undetected until an incident makes it visible.

How Lexcom helps

What we deliver.

Medical Device Inventory & Classification

A complete inventory of all connected clinical and administrative devices — hardware, firmware version, connectivity requirements, patch status, and risk classification.

Network Segmentation

Purpose-built network architecture that isolates medical devices from clinical workstations and administrative systems — so a compromised device cannot reach sensitive clinical or business systems.

monitor_heart

Device Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of medical device network behaviour — detecting anomalous traffic, unexpected connections, and configuration changes that may indicate compromise.

Vulnerability Assessment

Structured vulnerability assessment for all connected clinical devices — including devices that cannot be conventionally patched — with risk-tiered compensating controls where patching is not possible.

Compensating Controls

For devices that cannot be patched or updated, Lexcom implements compensating controls — network isolation, application whitelisting, and enhanced monitoring — to reduce risk without requiring device replacement.

How a diagnostic imaging centre secured [XX] connected devices without disrupting operations.

Diagnostic imaging centre · [XX] connected devices

Complete medical device visibility and segmentation in [XX] days.

A diagnostic imaging centre had [XX] connected medical devices — imaging systems, workstations, and PACS infrastructure — on a flat network with no visibility and no segmentation. Lexcom delivered a complete device inventory, implemented clinical network segmentation, and deployed monitoring across all connected devices without disrupting a single imaging appointment.
