Healthcare Security Intelligence Hub
Resources for healthcare IT and security teams — from small practices to regional health systems. Ransomware defense, BEC response, HIPAA security monitoring, and what modern healthcare cybersecurity actually looks like.
Why Healthcare Security Is Different
Healthcare cybersecurity isn't just IT security with HIPAA checkboxes added. The threat model is different: ransomware in a hospital isn't a business continuity problem, it's a patient safety problem. Business email compromise targeting healthcare billing workflows has led to multi-million dollar fraud cases. Unauthorized EHR access can run undetected for months.
The security tools and practices that protect a retail business don't map cleanly onto a medical practice or health system. EHR systems, clinical devices, and the 24/7 operational requirements of patient care require a different approach to monitoring and response.
This hub covers the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used against healthcare organizations — plus the detection and response approaches that actually work. We publish here because the threat landscape doesn't stop evolving, and annual security reviews don't keep pace.
If you manage security for a healthcare organization and want to discuss what coverage looks like for your environment, book an assessment.
