Securing What Matters Most: Why Cynerio is Joining Axonius

In 2018, we looked at healthcare and saw not just a security challenge—but a moral imperative. Hospitals were running some of the world’s most critical infrastructure without the basic protections other industries had long taken for granted. Clinical networks were riddled with blind spots—devices that couldn’t be safely scanned, patched, or monitored—yet were central to patient care. And the traditional IT tools meant to protect infrastructure? They weren’t just ineffective in clinical environments—they were often unsafe to use.

That realization set us on a mission to change it. And today, by joining forces with Axonius, we take that mission to the next level. This isn’t just a milestone for Cynerio—it’s a moment that redefines what’s possible in healthcare cybersecurity. Together, we’re delivering on a promise that has guided us since day one: to bring visibility, context, and real-world actionability to the systems that keep people alive.

Born in Healthcare. And Staying in Healthcare.

Cynerio was created to solve a healthcare problem—not a generic security one. We saw hospitals struggling with invisible, unmanaged devices operating in high-risk, high-stakes environments. So we reimagined cybersecurity from the inside out.

That commitment hasn’t changed. Our focus remains on healthcare. As part of Axonius, the Cynerio team will continue its dedicated mission to protect the clinical environments our customers rely on.

That focus allowed us to do something few others could: build protections not just for healthcare—but with healthcare at the core.

Redefining the Category Before It Existed

Securing medical devices meant creating new approaches, not retrofitting old ones. And we led that reinvention.

We were the first to introduce network detection and response for healthcare networks. The first to implement virtual sandboxing for safe segmentation. The first to deliver real device-level actionability, enabling hospitals to isolate threats without disrupting care. We were also among the first to apply generative AI — enhancing detection, accelerating policy creation, and making it easier for hospitals to interpret and act on complex risk data.

We didn’t wait for the market—we helped define it. Our research revealed that over 53% of connected medical devices carry critical vulnerabilities, a data point now widely accepted across the industry. And when we identified JekyllBot:5, a set of zero-day vulnerabilities in autonomous hospital robots, it underscored how deeply exposed clinical infrastructure had become.

Along the way, we earned the trust of some of the largest health systems in the world—and the recognition that followed. We’ve been top-rated in KLAS, named a Gartner Cool Vendor, recognized by Frost & Sullivan, and placed as a Leader in the Forrester Wave. These honors reflected not just innovation—but execution, and an unwavering focus on protecting what hospitals can’t afford to lose.

From Visibility to Actionability—Now, Together

Hospitals today don’t need more tools—they need platforms. Unified systems that connect everything across IT, cloud, SaaS, and clinical networks. Technologies that don’t just show what’s wrong, but help teams fix it—fast, safely, and without operational disruption.

That’s what this combination delivers.

With Axonius, we combine deep healthcare specialization with a platform trusted across industries for asset intelligence and security. This combination delivers one platform, one team, and the ability to turn insight into action on everything from cloud workloads and IT endpoints to infusion pumps and patient monitors.

To Our Customers and Partners

You’ve been with us from the beginning—challenging us, guiding us, and helping shape a platform that protects the people and processes that matter most.

That commitment stays the same. The team stays the same. But our ability to support you, defend you, and grow with you? That’s about to expand exponentially.

A Personal Reflection

When we launched Cynerio, the idea of securing medical devices felt niche—even abstract. But we knew what was at stake: real patient safety, critical hospital operations, and frontline caregivers who deserved better tools.

Today, I couldn’t be prouder of how far we’ve come: building a category, shaping an industry, and protecting millions of devices that matter most.

But this isn’t a victory lap. It’s a new starting line.

We’re just getting started.
