Artivion Faces Cybersecurity Disruption and Launches AMDS Hybrid Prosthesis

Artivion, a manufacturer of heart devices, faced significant disruptions in its operations due to a cybersecurity incident involving the unauthorized acquisition and encryption of files[1][2]. The incident, identified on November 21, led the company to take certain systems offline, impacting order, shipping, and corporate processes[1]. Although Artivion has managed to mitigate many of these disruptions, it anticipates potential delays in fully restoring its systems and acknowledges the need for continued investigation and remediation efforts with the guidance of legal, cybersecurity, and forensic experts[2]. Despite these challenges, Artivion does not foresee a material financial impact from the incident, although it expects to incur significant response-related costs[1].
