Thales signs major contract with Stephanix for remote management of medical equipment

Thales, a world leader in cybersecurity for critical environments, has secured a contract with Stephanix, a leader in medical imaging in France, to develop and implement its TrustFleet digital platform on Stephanix’s remotely controlled radiology tables. With ransomware attacks in the medical sector increasing by over 27% in 2023, cybersecurity has become a key concern for healthcare professionals.

TrustFleet, developed by Thales, remotely manages medical devices such as mobile radiology units, fluoroscopy tables, and mammography equipment. It enables the optimisation of predictive maintenance operations and remote troubleshooting of these devices, in both hospitals and private institutions.

Fully cybersecured and hosted in the Cloud, TrustFleet provides immediate access to protected data for quick and effective intervention. This reduces the downtime of medical equipment (updates, reboots, technical issues) while also lowering associated operational costs. This first collaboration with Stephanix will speed up and improve patient care, and represents a significant advancement in the medical sector.

"This collaboration with Stephanix to deploy TrustFleet in the healthcare sector will ensure the continuous availability of radiology tables and provide optimal protection for health data. The partnership will improve patient care and make healthcare workers’ jobs easier," said Kaïs Mnif, Vice President, Radiology Business Segment at Thales.
