At RSNA, everyone is talking about AI in imaging — but not enough people are talking about securing it.

Healthcare faces threat types that traditional tools simply aren’t built to see.

This is where GuardDog.AI is different.

Connected medical devices can be hijacked as entry points into broader networks. Traditional security sees “normal communication.” GuardDog.AI understands clinical behavior and flags when a device starts acting like a reconnaissance tool.

Patients’ IoT devices transmit data outside your firewall. Your existing stack can’t see Bluetooth or home-device pathways — but attackers can. GuardDog.AI monitors those blind spots end-to-end.

And as radiology leans deeper into AI models, adversarial attacks and training-data poisoning are becoming real risks. GuardDog.AI detects anomalous inputs and model-level drift that could compromise diagnostics.

This is why GuardDog stands apart at RSNA:

It’s purpose-built for healthcare, and engineered for the realities of imaging AI.

If your healthcare organization has had a HIPAA breach, you can’t wait months — you need measurable improvement now.

At RSNA, everyone is talking about AI in imaging. But after a breach, the real advantage of AI is speed.

With GuardDog, health systems go from decision → full autonomous protection in 2 days:

Day 1: Assessment with zero impact on clinical or imaging workflows
Day 2 AM: Monitor-only mode
Day 2 PM: Tuning + validation
Day 2: Full autonomous threat detection and containment

Why this matters at RSNA:
OCR investigations take 18–24 months.
Deploying GuardDog in the first 90 days gives you 15–21 months of operational evidence to show auditors — including data from imaging devices, modalities, and edge systems.

Fast, defensible, imaging-safe cybersecurity.

The Conversation Healthcare Leaders Should Be Having at RSNA — Not After the Next Breach

Most teams ask after an incident: “What do we need to do to satisfy FDA-OCR?”

The organizations that emerge stronger ask:

👉 “How do we use this moment to transform our security posture — not just patch it?”

With 15,000+ connected medical devices, traditional tools simply can’t detect or contain threats fast enough. That’s why AI-powered autonomous defense is dominating the real RSNA conversations.

Quick pulse check for CISOs, CIOs & clinical engineering leaders:

Which priority is driving your 2026 strategy?

A) Meet minimum FDA-OCR requirements

B) Measurable MTTD/MTTR improvement

C) Prevent lateral spread across medical devices

D) All of the above — without adding headcount

If this hits home, the full blog breaks down the leadership conversation you should be having tomorrow — not after another breach.

Gratitude and Vigilance: This Thanksgiving, Let’s Not Take Our Cybersecurity for Granted.

The holidays give us time to slow down — but cybercriminals don’t.

During long weekends, organizations face the perfect storm:

• Smaller IT and security teams on duty

• More remote access and travel

• Expanded attack surfaces across cloud, edge, and smart devices

Threat actors know it.
That’s why lateral movement and Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) exploits consistently increase during holiday downtime. These attacks blend in with legitimate activity, bypass traditional tools, and are often discovered only after real damage has occurred.

At GuardDog AI, we believe gratitude and peace of mind shouldn’t end when your team logs off. Our agentic AI platform continuously detects and autonomously responds to threat behaviors — isolating compromised assets in seconds, without human intervention.

So while your team is enjoying the holiday, GuardDog AI stays on duty.

If you want to understand why holidays heighten risk — and how autonomous defense protects your business when people aren’t watching — we break it down in our latest blog:

Because the best holiday is one where you are protected and secure with GuardDog AI.

The FDA has officially shifted how AI in healthcare is regulated — and most organizations are not operationally prepared.

AI-based Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) is now treated as a continuously evolving medical product, which means compliance no longer ends at purchase. Healthcare organizations are now jointly responsible — alongside the manufacturer — for continuous post-deployment monitoring, including:

• Algorithm performance and drift
• Cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities
• Validation of software and algorithm updates
• Reporting of unexpected outputs or safety risks to the FDA

This is where many health systems are struggling: clinical teams own the outcomes, IT owns the devices, cybersecurity owns the risk, and regulatory owns reporting — but AI demands all four work together every day.

At GuardDog AI, we’re helping healthcare organizations operationalize this new reality with continuous monitoring, threat detection, and post-deployment cybersecurity controls designed specifically for connected medical devices and AI-enabled workflows.

Redefining Cybersecurity Efficiency in the Red Hat Ecosystem

As hybrid environments grow more complex, the real challenge in cybersecurity isn’t just detecting threats — it’s the toil required to respond.

With GuardDog Complete Edge Sensor now available in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog, we’re introducing a new model for defense:

✅ Agentic AI protection that autonomously detects and contains threats

✅ Native integration with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift

✅ Lower cost per response hour through machine-speed action

✅ Zero-touch deployment with no agents or added complexity

Together with Red Hat, GuardDog AI is scaling autonomous defense — reducing manual effort, driving efficiency, and redefining the economics of cybersecurity.

The rapid growth of connected medical devices—smartwatches, glucose monitors, cardiac sensors—has transformed patient care. But it’s also created a massive, often invisible security blind spot: data in transit.

Each day, millions of patient transmissions travel wirelessly across networks, frequently without full encryption. Traditional cybersecurity tools protect data at rest—but not while it’s moving through the air.

“The greatest unseen risk in healthcare today isn’t inside your servers—it’s in the space between your devices,” says Mark A. Watts, Corporate Imaging Leader and author of The Silent Vulnerability in Your Healthcare System. “If we don’t secure data in motion, we’re leaving the door open to silent interception.”

GuardDog AI’s autonomous, AI-powered edge protection platform monitors and secures these transmissions in real time—authenticating devices, verifying encryption, and blocking interception before it occurs.
