Tuttnauer partners with Check Point to boost healthcare cybersecurity

In the increasingly digitised world of healthcare, the need for robust cybersecurity measures continues to grow. Tuttnauer, a worldwide operator in sterilisation and infection control equipment, has risen to meet this challenge through an innovative partnership with Check Point Software Technologies, an AI-powered cybersecurity platform provider. The partnership symbolises a significant step forward in healthcare security, ensuring enhanced safety and trust in medical device technology.

Focussed on tackling the escalating cyber threats faced by the health sector, Tuttnauer has integrated Check Point's advanced cybersecurity solutions into its groundbreaking T-Connect software used in medical and laboratory sterilisation devices. This enhanced protection provides an essential line of defence against cyber threats for these devices, which are critical to the function of various healthcare facilities.

Miri Ofir, R&D Director at Check Point Software Technologies, highlighted the increasing importance of such protections, stating, "Medical vendors and manufacturers must protect their devices, ensuring the protection of patient data and safety."

Tuttnauer has made its mark globally as an expert in the medical manufacturing industry, specialising in various healthcare solutions, including sterilisation, disinfection, and infection control systems. The company's advanced devices are installed in over 350,000 locations spread across 140 countries. In line with the rise of smart and connected medical devices in the healthcare industry, Tuttnauer has pioneered the use of its T-Connect SaaS portal to manage its devices through secure and intelligent means.

However, the increasing connectivity of medical devices also heightens the risk of cyber threats, potentially threatening patient safety and data integrity. To meet these cybersecurity requirements, Tuttnauer has integrated Check Point's Quantum IoT Nano Agent into the device software. This advanced technology protects against a wide range of cyber threats while ensuring the continuous operation of devices and the privacy of healthcare data.

Shlomi Sivia, Head of Software at Tuttnauer, stated, "Cybersecurity is essential for protecting our devices, ensuring our customers' business continuity, and meeting regulatory standards."

Check Point Quantum IoT Protect Nano Agent's implementation provides real-time protection against cyber threats while allowing for smooth integration and regulatory compliance. This reflects Tuttnauer's commitment to device safety and enhances customer trust. At the same time, this eliminates the need for frequent re-certification, bolstering business continuity and Tuttnauer's market trust. The partnership also prepares Tuttnauer for future cybersecurity challenges, strengthening its market position and readiness for global regulatory compliance.

The collaboration between these two industry powerhouses signifies a major security milestone in the healthcare industry. With Tuttnauer's commitment to safety and Check Point's advanced cybersecurity solutions, there is a reinforced confidence in the security and reliability of medical devices, ensuring the continuous provision of high-quality healthcare services.
