James Pratt
Account Executive
"As every industry develops ways to connect equipment to the Internet, you also have to find ways to safeguard the information they provide. Medical devices are regulated by the FDA, so you can’t make changes to devices without approval – a process that can take months or years. You also can’t patch the software without approval. As a result, these devices are on your network and not secure, so you need to find other ways to secure them. That’s why it’s important to work with a company like SageNet that understands how to develop smart solutions."
James Pratt brings a wealth of expertise in IT and healthcare technology to his work as an account executive in SageNet’s network division. With years of experience securely connecting vital medical devices to each other and the Internet, he works with customers from a wide range of industries to develop innovative solutions for safeguarding increasingly connected networks.
