Ordr releases Clinical Defender 8.1, a full lifecycle vulnerability management platform

Ordr, a provider of connected device security, is releasing Ordr Clinical Defender 8.1, providing Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) teams with a full-lifecycle vulnerability management platform.

With the 8.1 release, Ordr Clinical Defender optimizes the process of managing medical devices and their vulnerabilities.

HTM teams benefit from visibility into devices everywhere, with insights optimized based on their function, location, skills, and experience.

Critical vulnerabilities are prioritized based on business risks, and simplified workflows assign the right tasks to the right teams. As a result, no time is wasted, and no vulnerabilities go undetected or unaddressed.

“Simply put, HTM teams require more efficient ways to monitor devices and vulnerabilities in an ever-expanding healthcare environment,” said Pandian Gnanaprakasam, Ordr chief product officer and co-founder. “Ordr Clinical Defender allows each user to focus on the specific devices they’re responsible for, from a single screen, and helps them understand, prioritize, and manage vulnerability workflows based on full business context. This will ultimately improve efficiencies and enhance patient safety.”

The Clinical Defender 8.1 release also adds the Ordr Software Inventory Collector, and integration with Crowdstrike and Crowdstrike Humio to ensure HTM teams have comprehensive device and operating system visibility at their fingertips.

Healthcare organizations no longer have to struggle with discovering offline devices, those in remote clinics and locations, and behind VPN connections, making it easy to properly patch software and protect every device everywhere, according to the company.

Healthcare delivery organizations can now also easily manage diverse devices—from un-agentable devices like MRI systems, to medical workstations with agent-based Crowdstrike protections – within the same environment of care.

Now with comprehensive visibility into the software “stack” essential to understand vulnerabilities, Ordr makes it easy for HTM teams to work with their security teams to address the shared goal of patient safety, according to the vendor.

“Ordr tracks IoT, OT, and medical devices where the CrowdStrike agent cannot be installed. By integrating Ordr’s dataset with Falcon’s in Humio, Crowdstrike’s scalable log management platform, this solution provides our customers unprecedented observability and visibility on all devices, agent or agentless, 24x7, online or offline,” said Adam Hogan, SE director, Humio, CrowdStrike.
