Protecting Healthcare Systems in a Target-Rich Environment

Clinicians are prime targets for cybercriminals. The combination of high-value PHI (Protected Health Information), legacy systems, lack of budget, and a fast-paced clinical environment creates a perfect storm ripe for compromise.

Ransomware & BEC Attacks

Ransomware and business email compromise are among the most costly and disruptive threats in healthcare. A single email can lead to system outages, data loss, or patient care delays.

Resource & Budget Limits

Security teams are stretched thin and expected to do more with fewer tools and people. Limited budgets make it harder to invest in solutions that scale with evolving threats.

PREVENT RANSOMWARE & BEC ATTACKS

Eradicate Email-Based Threats

Our Adaptive AI continuously learns how your staff and vendors communicate, including tone, behavior, and relationships, to detect anomalies. 

Based on your automation preferences, you can instantly quarantine a malicious message masquerading as a lab result, cluster BEC impersonation attempts targeting your billing department, or escalate unusual behavior on a physician’s compromised account.

This ensures rapid containment without disrupting clinical workflows or compromising compliance with HIPAA and other regulations.

Reduce Frontline Human Risk

Train and Prepare Healthcare Staff

Timely and role-based security awareness training (SAT) is critical to reducing phishing risk and maintaining HIPAA compliance. 

Our integrated platform aligns training to clinical and administrative roles, automatically triggering personalized lessons after phishing simulation failures. Content is mapped to regulatory frameworks like HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS, ensuring compliance readiness while empowering staff to identify and report threats.

"IRONSCALES is helping me protect the organization by driving the employees to work collectively together. It’s helping change the mindset for the staff to take a second, review the email, and look for any red flags."

Frequently Asked Questions

How does IRONSCALES detect and stop ransomware threats before they disrupt clinical operations?

Our Adaptive AI analyzes embedded links and attachments in real time by flagging redirects, suspicious hosts, and file traits like entropy, obfuscation, or macros. It identifies ransomware precursors such as password-protected ZIPs or macro-enabled Office files, then clusters and quarantines similar threats across inboxes before users engage.

 

This on-delivery, continuous inbox-level detection is essential in healthcare, where even one missed link or attachment can compromise your systems or delay patient care.

Does IRONSCALES provide protection after an email is delivered?

Yes. IRONSCALES continuously monitors inboxes and can retroactively remove threats, including time-delayed payloads. This ensures late-stage attacks don’t disrupt medical workflows or compromise protected health information (PHI).

Can IRONSCALES help with compliance or cybersecurity insurance requirements?

Absolutely. IRONSCALES helps healthcare organizations meet compliance and cyber insurance requirements by delivering AI-driven email threat protection and supporting key regulatory mandates, including HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, SEC/FINRA, CCPA, VCDPA, and Colorado CPA.

 

With SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, phishing simulations, and built-in Security Awareness Training, IRONSCALES provides the tools needed to demonstrate control effectiveness, reduce breach risk, and support favorable cybersecurity insurance underwriting through faster detection, automated response, and detailed audit reporting.

How does IRONSCALES adapt to new phishing tactics like GenAI-crafted messages or impersonation attempts?

IRONSCALES utilizes Adaptive AI which incorporates machine learning (ML) AI models with community-driven intelligence from over 17,000 global IT teams. This real-time feedback loop trains the system to detect new and sophisticated attacks such as fake prescription requests or impersonated vendor invoices, before they reach frontline healthcare staff.

Do I need to change MX records or disrupt my current email flow to deploy IRONSCALES?

No. You can deploy IRONSCALES via native API integration with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace in just a few clicks. No MX record changes, no mail disruption, and no downtime. This ensures secured communications without risking delays to patient care.

How does IRONSCALES respond when users report suspicious emails?

When a user clicks “Report Phishing,” IRONSCALES instantly flags the message and quarantines it across the organization if deemed suspicious. The platform then uses clustering to identify and group similar emails. If the IT team confirms the threat, IRONSCALES automatically remediates all matching messages across mailboxes. This rapid feedback loop between frontline users and SOC, powered by adaptive AI and automation, significantly reduces response time which is essential for containing threats like ransomware in sensitive clinical environments.

Can phishing simulations and security awareness training help us meet compliance or insurance requirements?

Yes. Our phishing simulations and security awareness training are tailored to meet regulatory and cyber insurance requirements, including HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR. Training is adaptive as well as personalized by role, behavior, and risk profile which ensures clinical, IT, and admin staff receive relevant, effective education that’s both audit-ready and aligned with compliance frameworks.
