Black Book: Fortified Health top cybersecurity provider for medical devices

Black Book Market Research, a healthcare and public opinion research company, has named Fortified Health Security as the top cybersecurity service vendor in the "medical device and internet of things" category.

Black Book surveyed 2,464 cybersecurity professionals from over 680 organizations to identify vulnerabilities healthcare systems face when it came to cyberattacks. With 96 percent of information technology experts reporting hackers have exploited healthcare’s vulnerability, professionals are hoping to strengthen security.

“We know that many healthcare organizations do not have the staff, or expertise, to prepare for and address cybersecurity issues which is why we offer programs that scale from a technology-enabled service to a fully managed solution depending on the organization’s needs and infrastructure,” said Dan L. Dodson, President of Fortified Health Security. “Our Connected Medical Device & IoT Security Program is in demand by many hospitals and health systems because of the immediate positive impact it provides to their security posture and this recognition by Black Book reflects the importance of this program.”
