Landmark 10th Annual Awards Program Recognizes the Most Innovative Digital Health and Medical Technology Solutions Worldwide
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., – May 7, 2026 – CloudWave, a full-service cybersecurity and cloud services provider built exclusively for healthcare, today announced that it is the recipient of the “Healthcare Cybersecurity Innovation Award” in the 10th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the most innovative companies, technologies and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.
CloudWave’s breakthrough Resilience Platform powers healthcare IT environments with solutions that unify managed security, healthcare-optimized cloud services, and expert advisory. Featuring new Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR), CloudWave’s Managed Security Service provides 24/7 monitoring, AI-powered threat detection, and healthcare expertise through a single, integrated platform for end-to-end protection.
Cloudwave manages threats through automated response playbooks, decoy honeypots, and behavioral detection tools to prevent threat escalation.

“Many cybersecurity solutions are generic tools retrofitted for a clinical environment. We recognize that healthcare cybersecurity involves much more than data protection. Whether it’s phishing, vulnerable legacy systems, or connected medical devices, we offer strategic healthcare managed services that work alone or combined for comprehensive protection,” said Erik Littlejohn, President and CEO of CloudWave. “By partnering with us, we can help healthcare organizations safeguard systems, support staff, and protect patients. CloudWave is a critical layer of defense that protects patient data, ensures compliance, and helps maintain clinical continuity.”
Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, the MedTech Breakthrough Awards program has spent a decade recognizing the companies driving meaningful progress and improving patient care across the global health and medical technology industry. The program spans a wide range of categories – including Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices and beyond – honoring the innovations reshaping how care is delivered worldwide.
This year’s program drew a record-breaking number of nominations from leading companies and startups across more than 20 countries, reflecting the growing global impact and momentum of the digital healthcare industry.
“CloudWave provides always-on protection built for the realities of modern healthcare,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. “CloudWave Managed Security Service meets these challenges. CloudWave bridges the gap between complex technical defense and the realities of clinical workflows. By protecting the new front line – endpoints and IoT – in one comprehensive ecosystem, Cloudwave provides proactive defense and is the clear choice for the 2026 ‘Healthcare Cybersecurity Innovation Award’.”
