Healthcare cybersecurity where failure is not an option.

Hospitals and health systems are primary ransomware targets. Patient data is valuable, systems are often legacy, and downtime carries clinical consequences. Security here requires understanding both the threat landscape and the operational constraints.

Healthcare faces threats that most sectors do not.

  1. 01

    Patient data is the highest-value target

    Electronic health records command significant sums on criminal markets. Healthcare organisations hold exactly the data that attackers want — and often with security postures that lag other sectors.

  2. 02

    Medical devices run legacy software

    Imaging systems, infusion pumps, and monitoring equipment frequently run Windows XP or unpatched embedded software. They cannot be easily patched and create persistent network vulnerabilities.

  3. 03

    Ransomware directly impacts patient safety

    Ransomware against a hospital is not just a data incident — it shuts down clinical systems, diverts ambulances, and delays procedures. The consequences are measured in lives, not just euros.

  4. 04

    NIS2 now applies to most health entities

    Under NIS2, hospitals and healthcare providers are classified as essential entities with mandatory security requirements, incident reporting obligations, and significant supervisory fines.
