OT Cybersecurity for the Healthcare Sector

MRI machines, scanners, infusion pumps, facility management systems, pharmaceutical production lines: the healthcare sector combines critical connected medical equipment with absolute requirements for continuity of care. Hospital ransomware attacks, which have led to patients being redirected or procedures canceled, illustrate the direct severity of these attacks on human lives. 

Sector-specific challenges 

• Human lives at risk in the event of unavailability of medical equipment or hospital systems. 

• Heterogeneous biomedical equipment fleet, sometimes outdated and often not managed by IT teams, with long lifecycles. 

• Critical pharmaceutical production: a line shutdown can interrupt the manufacturing of essential medications. 

• Strengthened regulatory framework: NIS2 (European Cybersecurity regulation) classifies healthcare among the highly critical sectors, with incident notification requirements within 24 hours. 

How Seclab protects your healthcare environments 

Seclab isolates the most sensitive medical equipment and pharmaceutical production systems without disrupting their real-time operation, a non-negotiable requirement in care environments. Xchange segments critical biomedical networks from the rest of the information system, Xplore provides full visibility into an equipment fleet that is often poorly mapped, and Xport secures USB data transfers between clinical systems and maintenance workstations. Xchange and Xport make it possible to isolate outdated systems that can no longer be updated, reducing their level of risk.
