Security for healthcare organizations
Healthcare is the most-targeted industry for ransomware, and the only one where a security failure can disrupt patient care. EHR systems, connected medical devices, and telemedicine platforms create an attack surface where availability matters as much as confidentiality. Engagements here account for clinical operations, FDA-regulated devices, and HIPAA from the scoping call onward.

Key threats
The threat actors and techniques actively targeting healthcare organizations today, drawn from current threat intelligence and our own engagement data.
Ransomware Targeting Operations
Encryption attacks designed to disrupt clinical operations, lock out EHR systems, and force emergency diversions — with attackers specifically targeting healthcare during peak demand.
Protected Health Information Theft
Exfiltration of PHI for identity fraud, insurance fraud, and extortion. Health records command premium prices on dark web markets due to their comprehensive personal data.
Medical Device Exploitation
Compromise of connected medical devices — infusion pumps, imaging systems, patient monitors — that often run legacy software with limited patching capabilities.
Third-Party & Vendor Compromise
Breaches through medical billing services, health IT vendors, and data exchange partners that have trusted access to clinical systems and patient data.
What we assess
The systems, trust boundaries, and data flows that define where an attacker spends their time.

Electronic Health Record Systems
EHR platforms, clinical decision support tools, and health information exchange interfaces that store and process the most sensitive patient data.
Connected Medical Devices
IoMT devices including diagnostic equipment, patient monitoring systems, and therapeutic devices that connect to clinical networks.
Telehealth & Patient Portals
Virtual care platforms, patient-facing mobile applications, and web portals that handle appointment scheduling, messaging, and health data access.
Clinical Network Infrastructure
Converged networks supporting clinical operations, medical devices, building automation, and administrative systems with varying security requirements.
How we help
Service lines we bring to healthcare engagements, scoped to the threat model and compliance regime above.
Penetration Testing
Practical offensive security testing across applications, networks, cloud, AI systems, and connected devices. We find the attack paths scanners miss and explain what matters first.
Learn moreAdversary Simulations
Red-team and purple-team operations modeled around the threats most relevant to your business. We test prevention, detection, and response against realistic attack paths.
Learn moreOffensive Security Engineering
Engineering support for teams that need more than reports. We build tools, workflows, and test infrastructure that make offensive security faster and more reliable.
Learn moreSecurity Analytics
Detection engineering, threat hunting, and data pipelines that turn telemetry into decisions. We help teams find signal, reduce noise, and measure coverage.
Learn moreRegulatory landscape
Compliance frameworks we map findings against so your next audit is a formality, not a fire drill.
Other sectors we serve
Offensive security engagements across seven industries. Same operators, same discipline, threat model calibrated to each sector.
Technology
Testing SaaS platforms, APIs, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD paths, and identity systems built for fast-moving engineering teams.
Financial Services
Protecting banking platforms, fintech integrations, payment flows, trading systems, and high-value customer data.
Government
Supporting agencies and public-sector teams that need disciplined testing around sensitive systems, mandates, and mission impact.
Energy & Utilities
Assessing IT, OT, ICS, SCADA, remote access, and vendor pathways that support critical energy and utility operations.
Retail & E-Commerce
Protecting storefronts, checkout flows, payment systems, customer data, loyalty platforms, and third-party commerce integrations.
Manufacturing
Securing production networks, industrial systems, IT/OT boundaries, remote access, and supply-chain dependencies.
