Cynerio

The story of Cynerio begins with a critical observation by its co-founders, CEO Leon Lerman and CTO Daniel Brodie. They recognized a significant vulnerability in the healthcare industry's digital transformation. While the first wave of IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) security solutions provided hospitals with a basic inventory of their connected devices, they fell short of offering true protection. These early solutions couldn't actively detect or respond to the growing threats targeting IoT devices, leaving hospitals susceptible to ransomware attacks that could cripple their operations and endanger patient care. This realization sparked the creation of Cynerio in 2017, a company born from the urgent need to secure every connected asset within a healthcare environment, from IoMT and IoT devices to OT (Operational Technology) and unmanaged IT and mobile devices.

From its inception, Cynerio's mission has been to transform healthcare IoT security, ensuring that patient care remains insulated from the malicious intent of cyber attackers. The company's approach is rooted in the understanding that a simple inventory is insufficient. Instead, Cynerio developed a comprehensive platform that aligns with the NIST cybersecurity framework to proactively reduce the risk of attacks and maximize security coverage across a hospital's entire infrastructure. This platform doesn't just identify devices; it analyzes their behavior, detects anomalies, and provides actionable steps to stop threats before they can escalate. By focusing on providing proactive and reactive protections, Cynerio empowers healthcare organizations to move beyond mere visibility to a state of active defense. This journey from identifying a problem to building a robust, life-saving solution demonstrates Cynerio's deep commitment to safeguarding the future of healthcare in an increasingly connected world, working to make the digital hospital a safer place for patients and providers alike.
