Hospital ransomware protection built around patient safety
A hospital is not a typical enterprise, and it cannot be secured like one. Lives depend on uptime, privacy is regulated to the letter, and thousands of connected devices keep patients alive while running software no security agent can touch. Immune is built for exactly this environment.
Immune protects hospitals and health systems end to end — the electronic health record, imaging and laboratory systems, and the thousands of connected medical devices other tools cannot see — with automation that always defers to patient safety.
Why hospitals are uniquely hard to defend
Most security products are designed for organizations where a system outage is an inconvenience. In a hospital, an outage can be fatal. When the electronic health record goes dark, clinicians lose access to the medication lists, allergies, and results they rely on to make safe decisions in real time. That single difference reshapes everything about how a hospital should be secured. Speed of recovery is not a service-level nicety; it is a patient-safety imperative. Automated response cannot be allowed to disrupt active care. And the definition of success is not merely blocking an attack but keeping the hospital functioning through one.
On top of this, hospitals carry a burden almost no other sector shares: an enormous population of connected medical devices. A large facility may run ten to fifteen thousand of them — infusion pumps, imaging systems, monitors — and the majority cannot host security software, with a large share being end-of-life and unpatchable. These devices are essential to care and nearly invisible to conventional security tools, which makes them the favorite target of ransomware operators looking to maximize downtime leverage. Any hospital cybersecurity strategy that cannot see and protect these devices is defending only part of the building.
Coverage
What Immune protects across the hospital
Electronic health record
Threats are stopped before they reach the EHR, and it's restored first in the recovery order if affected.
Imaging & PACS
Diagnostic imaging systems and archives, protected and recovered in their proper sequence.
Connected medical devices
The agentless fleet, defended at the network boundary and quarantined without being shut down.
Servers & workstations
Full host-level and network detection across the managed estate.
Identity & access
Continuous verification that catches attackers using valid, stolen credentials.
Lab & pharmacy systems
The ancillary systems clinical care depends on, protected and recovered in order.
How it works
How Immune protects a hospital through an attack
See the whole environment
Immune monitors servers, workstations, identity, and the thousands of agentless devices other tools miss.
Catch the attack early
Behavioral detection, deception, and access verification surface an intrusion in its quiet, early stages.
Contain without harming care
The threat is isolated in seconds; any care-impacting action is gated behind one-click human approval.
Keep clinicians working
A continuity mode preserves safe, read-only access to records while the response plays out.
Restore in clinical order
Affected systems are healed from immutable backups — identity, network, EHR, then ancillary systems.
Advantages
What health systems gain
Protected uptime
The systems that keep patients safe stay available through an attack.
Complete coverage
Including the medical devices other tools structurally cannot see.
Clinical-aware automation
Response never overrides care decisions on the actions that matter.
Fast, validated recovery
Minutes to hours, in clinical order, verified clean — not weeks.
Scales across facilities
Built for multi-hospital health-system scale and density.
Complements your stack
Adds resilience and device coverage on top of existing tools.
Use cases
Where Immune serves hospitals
Large health systems
Central protection and response across many facilities and tens of thousands of devices.
Community & regional hospitals
Enterprise-grade resilience without an enterprise-sized security team.
Imaging & radiology centers
Protect PACS and imaging systems that are frequent ransomware targets.
Specialty & clinic networks
Consistent protection across distributed care sites and their devices.
Common questions
Hospital cybersecurity, answered
+What makes hospital cybersecurity different from other industries?
Hospitals combine life-critical uptime, strict privacy regulation, and a vast fleet of connected medical devices that cannot run security software. A security failure is a patient-safety event, not just an IT problem, so hospitals need resilience and clinical-aware automation, not just detection.
+How does Immune protect the electronic health record?
Immune detects threats moving toward the EHR early, contains them before they reach it, and — if it is affected — restores it from immutable backups in the correct order alongside the identity and network services it depends on, validating it clean before returning it to service.
+Can Immune scale to a large multi-hospital health system?
Yes. Immune is built for the scale and density of health-system networks, protecting servers, workstations, and tens of thousands of connected devices, and can be operated centrally across multiple facilities.
+How does Immune avoid disrupting clinical operations?
Any automated action that could affect patient care is gated behind human approval, and medical devices are quarantined at the network layer rather than shut down. A continuity mode preserves safe, read-only access to records during a response.
+What does Immune protect beyond the EHR?
Imaging and PACS archives, laboratory and pharmacy systems, servers and workstations, identity and access, and the thousands of connected medical devices — the whole clinical environment, not just the record.
+How quickly can a hospital be protected?
Because Immune complements your existing tools rather than replacing them, and can start with monitoring and deception before growing into full containment and self-healing, hospitals can begin realizing protection quickly and expand at their own pace.
