Your Healthcare SOC Has the Tools. So Why Do Threats Still Get Through?

In today’s healthcare environments, no single cybersecurity tool can cover every asset. EDR protects workstations, firewalls secure the perimeter, and SIEMs log activity; but what about the medical devices, building systems, and network traffic that fall outside their reach?

From unagented infusion pumps to HVAC systems quietly connected to the network, many of the most critical hospital technologies operate without visibility or protection from traditional tools. That’s where Cynerio Network Detection and Response for Healthcare (NDR-H) comes in.

Covering Healthcare’s Blind Spots

Cynerio NDR-H is purpose-built for healthcare, trained on data from hospitals worldwide. As a result it delivers Day 1 threat visibility and response once deployed across the entire clinical network with no tuning or ramp-up period required.

Rather than replacing your existing tools, NDR-H enhances them by filling in critical gaps, especially where traditional solutions struggle to monitor or interpret behavior in IoMT, IoT, and OT environments.

Seeing the Whole Picture: IT, IoT, IoMT, and OT

Hospitals run on a complex mix of systems:

• IT systems (e.g., workstations, servers)
• IoT devices (e.g., smart TVs, security cameras)
• IoMT (e.g., infusion pumps, ventilators, imaging equipment)
• OT systems (e.g., HVAC, elevators, building access controls)
  

Generic tools often lack the ability to recognize what "normal" behavior looks like in a medical context. Cynerio NDR-H applies healthcare-specific behavioral baselines to immediately flag suspicious activity that deviates from a hospital's unique workflows.

For example, NDR might notice an infusion pump (IoMT) suddenly trying to access patient records. Or it could spot a building control system (OT) communicating with an unknown internet address. These are behaviors traditional tools might miss because they might only see generic IT devices connecting and not behavior that would be much more suspicious in a medical context.

Supporting Firewalls, IPS, and IDS Beyond the Perimeter

Firewalls and IPS are built to stop known threats at the edge. But most healthcare attacks happen inside the network.

Cynerio NDR-H monitors all east-west traffic within your network and understands healthcare-specific protocols such as DICOM and HL7. These protocols don’t follow typical IT patterns and are often missed by firewalls and IPS/IDS tools. Our platform identifies abnormal internal behavior, such as a connected anesthesia machine attempting to communicate with a remote server during off-hours, or a building control system issuing commands to IoMT devices it doesn’t normally interact with. 

And unlike generic IPS tools that rely on signature-based detection and extensive manual tuning, NDR-H uses healthcare-trained AI and machine learning, delivering low false positives and actionable alerts with minimal setup.

Integrating with SIEM, SOAR, NAC, Ticketing Systems, and CMMS 

Your existing tools become smarter and more responsive when powered by Cynerio’s actionable network intelligence. NDR-H integrates with:

• SIEMs to enrich alerts with deep packet context and device-specific insights that might otherwise not show up in the logs 
• SOAR platforms to automate response workflows, such as isolating a suspicious device or opening a ticket
• NAC solutions to enforce access control based on real-time threat intelligence
• Ticketing systems to streamline collaboration and documentation
  

And uniquely for healthcare, NDR-H supports clinical engineering by integrating with CMMS platforms like Nuvolo, Accruent TMS, and AIMS. If a medical device is compromised, NDR-H can generate work orders or update the device’s service record, keeping biomed teams informed, compliant, and ready to act.

Why Single-Layer Security Isn’t Enough

Here’s the reality:

• EDR only covers what’s agented
• XDR is only as effective as the data it receives
• Generic NDR detects threats, but lacks healthcare context
• Firewalls/IPS miss what happens inside the network
• SIEM/SOAR needs rich, relevant inputs to be effective

Only Cynerio NDR-H is built from the ground up to unify these tools with healthcare-specific intelligence.

Deepen Your Defenses with Cynerio

When it comes to protecting patient care, visibility and response speed are everything. Cynerio NDR-H helps you:

• Secure Medical Devices: Understand the risk and behavior of every connected device in your network.
• Enhance Endpoint Security: Feed enriched IoMT and network data into your EDR and XDR tools like CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. 
• Secure Your Network: Go beyond endpoints with deep packet inspection, real-time detection, and automated response.
