Asimily

What Asimily actually does

Asimily discovers and classifies IoT and medical devices on your network through passive traffic analysis. It identifies device type, manufacturer, model, firmware version, operating system, and communication behavior without installing agents on the devices themselves. For healthcare organizations, this means getting an accurate inventory of every infusion pump, patient monitor, MRI machine, and connected medical device across the network.

The vulnerability management engine maps discovered devices against known CVEs and then applies risk context to prioritize what actually matters. Not every vulnerability on a medical device is exploitable in its current network position. Asimily considers factors like network exposure, exploit availability, and device criticality to rank vulnerabilities by real-world risk rather than raw CVSS scores. This matters enormously in healthcare where you can’t just patch an infusion pump on Tuesday.

Asimily generates microsegmentation recommendations and integrates with network access control and firewall platforms to enforce them. The idea is to reduce the attack surface of vulnerable devices that can’t be patched by isolating them to only the network communication they actually need. The platform also monitors device behavior for anomalies that might indicate compromise.

Who it’s best for

• Hospitals and health systems that need a complete inventory of medical devices and their risk posture
• Healthcare security teams dealing with thousands of connected devices that can’t be patched on regular cycles
• Biomedical engineering departments that need to collaborate with IT security on device lifecycle management
• Organizations facing HIPAA audits that need to demonstrate they know what devices are on their network and how they’re protected
• Universities and research institutions with large, diverse IoT deployments across campus networks

Pricing reality check

Asimily prices based on the number of devices monitored. Healthcare deployments can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of devices. Annual costs for a mid-size hospital system typically land in the mid-to-high five figures, scaling into six figures for large multi-hospital health systems.

The pricing is competitive with Claroty Medigate and Cynerio in the healthcare IoT space. Evaluate based on detection accuracy, device classification depth, and integration with your existing network infrastructure. Some platforms excel at certain device types or manufacturers. Request a proof of concept with your actual network traffic to compare detection rates and classification accuracy rather than relying on vendor claims.

Alternatives to consider

• Cynerio — Direct competitor focused exclusively on healthcare IoT and medical device security. Strong clinical workflow awareness and microsegmentation capabilities.
• Claroty Medigate — Healthcare IoT security from Claroty’s acquisition of Medigate. Benefits from Claroty’s broader OT security expertise.
• Armis — Agentless device security covering enterprise IoT, OT, and medical devices. Broader scope beyond healthcare but less specialized in clinical environments.
• Ordr — Connected device security with a focus on automated segmentation. Good for mixed IT/IoT/OT environments.

The Charting Cyber take

Healthcare IoT security is a real problem with real consequences. Medical devices run outdated operating systems, can’t accept agents, and often can’t be patched without manufacturer involvement. Asimily addresses this by providing visibility into what’s connected, prioritizing vulnerabilities by actual exploitability, and recommending network-level controls for devices that can’t be fixed.

The honest limitation is that Asimily—like all IoT security platforms—can only enforce protections through integration with your network infrastructure. If your network isn’t segmentable, the recommendations are academic. The organizations that get the most value are those with modern network architectures that can implement microsegmentation, not those still running flat networks with no access control. Fix the plumbing first, then the IoT security platform makes the plumbing smarter.
