Cybersecurity at the point of care and beyond
Healthcare organizations face expanding attack surfaces across clinical networks, connected medical devices, cloud workloads, and remote care environments. A platform-based approach replaces fragmented point solutions with integrated, consistent security.
Request informationIntegrated security across the care continuum
Palo Alto Networks delivers cybersecurity solutions spanning network security, cloud security, and security operations, purpose-built for the healthcare threat landscape.
Protect patient data
Prevent ransomware and data exfiltration across clinical networks with inline threat prevention and Zero Trust segmentation.
Secure connected devices
Gain visibility into every IoMT device on the network and enforce risk-based policies without manual inventory or agents.
Enable secure remote care
Extend consistent security to telemedicine providers, remote clinicians, and distributed care sites through cloud-delivered access.
Why healthcare is a high-value target
Healthcare organizations operate complex, distributed environments where system downtime directly impacts patient safety. Attackers exploit this urgency.
Ransomware disruption
Clinical systems and electronic health records are primary targets for ransomware operators seeking rapid payment under care-delivery pressure.
Unmanaged IoMT devices
Connected infusion pumps, imaging systems, and patient monitors expand the attack surface without traditional endpoint protection.
Regulatory exposure
HIPAA, HHS 405(d), and evolving state regulations require demonstrable, auditable security controls across the organization.
Distributed care delivery
Telemedicine, remote workforce, and multi-site operations extend security requirements far beyond the hospital perimeter.
Healthcare cybersecurity use cases
Each use case maps to a distinct operational challenge and the platform component designed to address it.
Zero Trust Security
Delivering care from anywhere
Legacy security stacks cannot keep pace with dynamic care models across telehealth, remote clinics, and cloud-hosted EHR platforms.
- Consistent security policies across all locations
- Flexible, scalable cloud-delivered access
- Reduced infrastructure complexity
Medical IoT Security
Securing connected devices
IoMT devices lack traditional endpoint agents. Behavioral profiling and automated policy enforcement close the visibility gap.
- Automated device discovery and classification
- Risk-based segmentation without agents
- Behavioral anomaly detection
Platform Consolidation
Tool rationalization
A centralized security platform contains infrastructure costs, eliminates security sprawl, and integrates with existing investments.
- Unified network and cloud security management
- Automated threat analysis and response
- Interoperability with existing platforms
