Securing the Heart of Connectivity

The Challenge

A medical device manufacturer built a Medical Device Hub (MDH) to serve as a central connection point for a wide range of devices developed by different teams, each using varying technology stacks. To support secure growth and maintain regulatory compliance, the platform had to:

  • Authenticate devices from diverse teams without overwhelming the registration process.
  • Verify public keys securely to ensure only authorized devices could connect.
  • Manage certificates centrally, including updates and revocations.
  • Support in-field reprovisioning without disrupting clinical workflows.
  • Scale securely, maintaining visibility and control across an expanding device ecosystem.

The Solution: Medcrypt’s Guardian

Medcrypt’s Guardian Platform delivered the tools needed to build a secure and scalable MDH:

  • Simplified device registration and authentication, minimizing operational overhead for diverse device teams.
  • Public key verification to ensure trusted communication and establish a robust Root of Trust.
  • Cloud-based certificate management, enabling secure issuance, renewal, and revocation across lifecycles.
  • Secure in-field reprovisioning, allowing updates without physical intervention.
  • Scalable key management architecture to support growth and maintain security posture.

The Impact

Guardian enabled the manufacturer to implement a secure, compliant, and scalable foundation for device connectivity - future-proofing the platform and enhancing both security and clinical efficiency.

  • Simplified onboarding and authentication for new devices.
  • Established consistent security through a unified Root of Trust.
  • Enabled continuous compliance via secure provisioning and certificate lifecycle management.
  • Supported centralized control of growing device fleets.
  • Met FDA cybersecurity expectations without rework or delay.
