The healthcare sector is facing an unprecedented digital turning point. According to a recent global survey, 🔗300 Global Healthcare IT Leaders Report that Security has become an Operational Crisis in the AI Era.
In healthcare, a breach doesn’t just result in lost revenue or regulatory fines, it directly impacts patient safety, disrupts critical care, and brings hospital operations to a grinding halt. As threat actors increasingly leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automate and scale their attacks, the defensive strategies of yesterday are proving wholly inadequate.
At Mondas, we believe that best-in-class software might be the best way to counter these evolving threats. As a CrowdStrike Partner, we help healthcare organisations bridge the gap between their most pressing vulnerabilities and industry-leading solutions. Based on the major healthcare challenges identified in the Nile Report, here’s an example of how Mondas and CrowdStrike can help support the sector’s most critical operational crises.
IoMT and Medical Devices
The Challenge: The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has revolutionised patient monitoring and care delivery. However, legacy operating systems, regulatory restrictions on patching, and a lack of built-in security make these devices highly vulnerable entry points for attackers.
The Solution: Through CrowdStrike Falcon for XIoT, Mondas provides passive visibility and threat detection specifically designed for non-agentable devices. This ensures that even the most outdated, unpatchable MRI machines or infusion pumps are monitored for anomalous behaviour without risking operational disruption or voiding manufacturer warranties.
Stopping Ransomware and Preventing Lateral Movement
The Challenge: Ransomware remains the most devastating threat to healthcare facilities, compounded by a severe lack of containment. Once an attacker breaches the perimeter, they can easily move laterally through flat hospital networks, encrypting vital patient databases and locking down life-saving systems.
The Solution: Mondas deploys Falcon Endpoint & Identity Protection to deliver instantaneous device isolation. By securing identities and endpoints simultaneously, CrowdStrike stops lateral movement dead in its tracks, preventing a single compromised workstation from escalating into a hospital-wide ransomware event.
Accelerating Zero Trust Implementation
The Challenge: Despite widespread acknowledgement of its necessity, Zero Trust implementation in healthcare is lagging. The fluid nature of hospital staff (locum doctors, nurses, and third-party vendors accessing data from multiple unmanaged devices) makes traditional access models obsolete and highly risky.
The Solution: Implementing CrowdStrike’s Zero Trust Architecture allows Mondas to enforce continuous identity validation and risk-based access control. Rather than trusting users based purely on their network location, access to sensitive Patient Health Information (PHI) is dynamically authenticated, dramatically shrinking the attack surface.
Alleviating IT Firefighting and Staff Shortages
The Challenge: Healthcare IT teams are chronically understaffed and overwhelmed. Caught in a continuous loop of firefighting daily alerts, internal teams rarely have the bandwidth or the specialised expertise required to proactively hunt for advanced, AI-driven threats.
The Solution: To close the skills gap, Mondas offers Falcon Complete (MDR). This provides healthcare organisations with 24/7, fully managed threat hunting and expert incident remediation. By offloading the burden of constant monitoring to elite security analysts, internal IT teams can refocus their efforts on digital transformation and improving patient care experiences.
Secure Your Healthcare Operations
The integration of AI into the cyber threat landscape means that healthcare providers have a narrowing window to modernise their defences. Security can’t be an operational crisis any more, it must be a silent, robust enabler of uninterrupted patient care.
If your organisation is struggling to secure legacy medical devices, implement Zero Trust, or manage the daily burden of security alerts, Mondas is here to help. As a CrowdStrike partner, we have the expertise to seamlessly integrate best-in-class AI-native defence into your clinical environments.
