Stryker

Profile narrative

Stryker is a medical technology company that designs, manufactures, and markets a broad range of medical devices and equipment, including orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, neurotechnology, and spine products. It serves healthcare providers such as hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics worldwide. The company also develops connected medical products that integrate with digital health platforms. Its operations encompass research and development, production, order processing, manufacturing, and shipping of these products. Stryker's headquarters is located in the United States.

Stryker relies on Microsoft Intune for endpoint management of its internal devices, a platform that was exploited in a March 2026 cyberattack by an Iran‑linked hacktivist group. The attackers used compromised administrator credentials to perform a mass wipe of tens of thousands of managed devices, disrupting order processing, manufacturing, and shipping operations. Although the group claimed data exfiltration, investigators found no evidence of data theft. The attack caused operational delays and short‑term financial impacts, but systems were restored to pre‑attack levels within weeks and connected medical products remained unaffected. U.S. cybersecurity agencies issued advisories urging organizations to harden Intune configurations and enforce least‑privilege access controls in response.
