Healthcare organizations continuously face unprecedented cybersecurity crises that directly impact operational resilience, financial stability, and patient safety. The cybersecurity crisis is no longer theoretical–it is a sector under siege. Yet, within this escalating crisis, a deeper risk remains largely unaddressed: The vulnerability and exploitability of Operational Technologies (OT).
OT devices in a hospital are a cybersecurity Achilles’ Heel, mirroring the profound risks seen in industrial control systems (ICS). In a healthcare delivery organization (HDO), these same OT devices manage the entire physical environment that keeps patients alive and operations running. A breach of non-medical, facility-focused systems can bypass traditional IT defenses to cause immediate, catastrophic physical disruption, making patient safety an instantaneous casualty of a cyber incident.
