Palo Alto Networks Recognized as Visionary Leader in U.S. Healthcare Cybersecurity by Frost Sullivan

Palo Alto Networks Recognized as Visionary Leader in U.S. Healthcare Cybersecurity by Frost Sullivan

Palo Alto Networks has been named a Visionary Leader in Frost & Sullivan's Frost Radar™: Healthcare Infrastructure Cybersecurity in the United States, 2026. The company achieved the top Innovation Index score (5.00) and a Growth Index score of 4.60, positioning it higher than any other provider evaluated. Frost & Sullivan highlighted Palo Alto Networks' ability to move beyond merely identifying vulnerable medical devices to actively applying compensating controls through existing network infrastructure. This is particularly critical for legacy and difficult-to-patch clinical devices, such as infusion pumps or imaging systems, which often have uptime constraints, require FDA revalidation for changes, or run on older operating systems. The company's Device Security, evolved from its Zingbox-based Medical IoT origins, uses next-generation firewalls as both sensors to identify vulnerable devices and enforcement points to block exploits, effectively compressing remediation times from months to minutes without m...

AMA and Medical Specialties Oppose Trump-Era Medicare Payment Reform Aimed at Affordability

AMA and Medical Specialties Oppose Trump-Era Medicare Payment Reform Aimed at Affordability

The American Medical Association (AMA) and a coalition of high-earning medical specialties are actively opposing a Trump administration proposal designed to enhance healthcare affordability. This proposal, put forth by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in July as part of its 2027 Medicare physician payment rule, seeks to reduce Medicare payments in situations where doctors bill for both a procedure and a separate evaluation and management (E/M) visit for the same patient on the same day. CMS argues that performing these services concurrently creates efficiencies, suggesting that the current payment methodology may involve duplicate payments. Under the proposed change, Medicare would pay the highest-priced service at its full rate, while additional qualifying procedures or E/M services would be reimbursed at 50 percent. AMA President Willie Underwood III has urged CMS to withdraw the proposal, citing insufficient evidence to justify the reduction and potential threats to independent physici...

Senators Reintroduce Health Infrastructure Security Act to Mandate Healthcare Cybersecurity Standards

Senators Reintroduce Health Infrastructure Security Act to Mandate Healthcare Cybersecurity Standards

Senators Mark Warner and Ron Wyden have reintroduced the Health Infrastructure Security and Accountability Act, a legislative proposal aimed at establishing and enforcing minimum cybersecurity standards across the American healthcare system. This bill targets healthcare providers, health plans, clearinghouses, and business associates, requiring them to undertake several critical security measures. These include conducting security risk analyses, developing comprehensive incident response plans for cyber incidents, natural disasters, and technology failures, performing stress tests to evaluate their ability to restore essential functions, and undergoing independent security audits. The legislation also proposes significant financial investment, with $800 million in upfront payments over two years designated for 2,000 rural and urban safety-net hospitals. This funding is intended to help these hospitals adopt essential cybersecurity standards to address high-risk vulnerabilities in their data infrastructure ...

Cellares and Seoul National University Hospital Partner for Automated Gene-Modified HSPC Therapy Manufacturing

Cellares and Seoul National University Hospital Partner for Automated Gene-Modified HSPC Therapy Manufacturing

Cellares, an Integrated Development and Manufacturing Organization (IDMO), and Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) have announced a partnership to evaluate the automated manufacturing of a gene-modified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) therapy. This collaboration aims to target paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) using Cellares’ Cell Shuttle platform. The proof-of-concept study will focus on translating SNUH’s existing gene-modified HSPC manufacturing process onto the Cell Shuttle, specifically incorporating a two-step transfection workflow through Cellares’ fully integrated and single-use electroporation module. This marks Cellares’ second collaboration in Asia and is intended to support SNUH’s program towards future clinical development in the United States. The partnership seeks to address the challenges of gene-modified HSC manufacturing, which is currently labor-intensive, variable, and difficult to scale, thereby limiting clinical development, increasing costs, and restrictin...
