Healthcare
The convergence of physical and digital infrastructure within modern healthcare facilities requires heightened physical security of clinical data, operational technologies (OT), and patient safety.

In healthcare, a cyber breach can escalate into a physical medical crisis. FireBreak™ provides a verifiable hardware air gap on demand, isolating clinical systems from IT compromises while maintaining operational continuity.
By protecting clean clinical backups behind a physical air gap, hospitals can restore operations in hours instead of weeks. FireBreak™ also acts as a compensating control for unpatchable legacy medical devices. Fully aligned with HIPAA Security Rule and NIST CSF 2.0.
In healthcare, a logical breach can quickly become a physical medical crisis. The boundary between cyber incidents and patient safety has effectively disappeared.
Operational paralysis in healthcare is extremely costly. A ransomware event can force a hospital into weeks of full network reconstruction, placing patients at significant risk.
Medical devices — MRI controllers, blood testing systems, and infusion pumps — often run on legacy operating systems that cannot be patched yet remain permanently connected and mission-critical.
Fast-moving ransomware variants introduced via IT phishing attacks can cascade into clinical systems.
EHR systems and diagnostic equipment must remain available 24/7, making full shutdowns unacceptable.
Legacy medical devices present a permanent and unmitigable attack surface when connected to broader networks.
HIPAA Security Rule and NIST CSF 2.0 require demonstrable access control and proactive risk mitigation.
Use Case 1 — Surgical IT/OT Containment: FireBreak™ isolates administrative IT from clinical OT systems. On ransomware detection, instant Layer 1 severance ensures clinical infrastructure remains operational while threats are contained.
Use Case 2 — Legacy Medical Device Protection: Unpatchable devices operate in disconnected-by-default environments, with only brief, scheduled connections for essential telemetry.
ROI: Hardware-enforced air-gapped backups enable hospitals to restore operations in hours rather than weeks, avoiding costly rebuilds.
Regulatory alignment supports HIPAA Security Rule and NIST CSF 2.0 requirements, with immutable logs providing auditable proof of risk mitigation.
