Defend Critical Healthcare Systems Against Cyberattacks
Healthcare systems worldwide are under constant pressure to deliver first-rate care despite a never-ending barrage of shifting challenges and emerging health threats. What’s worse, healthcare organizations are in the crosshairs of cybercriminals, who can capitalize on the reputational and financial damage of compromising highly regulated patient data.
IT managers at healthcare organizations face multiple challenges:
- Complexities of maintaining compliance with HIPAA, HITECH, SOX, PCI, and other regulations
- Frequent staff turnover common to high-stress environments, requiring continual review of onboarding and exit procedures, including permission settings and account creation and deletion
- Adoption of telehealth services, increasing potential attack vectors for cybercriminals
Healthcare organizations are under attack.

Active Directory is a prime attack vector for cybercriminals targeting healthcare systems
Close Common Healthcare Security Gaps Exploited by Cybercriminals
Semperis gives healthcare organizations an end-to-end platform for preventing, mitigating, and recovering from identity system-related cyberattacks—before, during, and after an attack.
Challenge
Healthcare system attacks often target Active Directory vulnerabilities that cybercriminals exploit to gain access to critical information systems.
Solution
Semperis uncovers security gaps in AD, including Incidents of Exposure (such as configurations that have drifted over time), and Incidents of Compromise (evidence of malicious activity).
Challenge
Attackers can invade healthcare information systems and move undetected before unleashing malware.
Solution
Semperis identifies attacks that bypass agent-based or log-based detection and provides autonomous rollback of suspicious activity.
Challenge
Cyberattacks can bring healthcare systems to a halt, preventing access to critical patient-care technology and medical records.
Solution
Semperis slashes the time to fully recover Active Directory, accelerating access to healthcare delivery systems and closing up security gaps so cybercriminals can’t attack again.
“Managing cybersecurity for health institutions is not getting easier. With that prognosis, the healthcare industry needs to rethink security by focusing on access and identity.”

Semperis Customer Success Story
“Restoring AD with a common backup software is very complicated, and when the time is needed we wouldn’t want to face the whole confusing process. With Semperis, we don’t need a Microsoft professional to do that. Semperis simplifies the process.”
