Ransomware-relevant attack paths
Healthcare is the top ransomware target. We validate the chains that ransomware actors actually use — exposed RDP, leaked credentials, unpatched edge — and prove them before they detonate.

Ransomware-ready posture —
proven, not assumed.
Healthcare is the most-targeted ransomware sector and the most regulated. Continuous validation of PHI-handling assets, medical-device firmware, and ransomware-relevant attack paths — with HIPAA evidence captured continuously, not at the breach.
Where CTEM lands
The four exposure dimensions that matter in healthcare.
PHI on the perimeter
Every internet-facing asset that handles PHI is a HIPAA event waiting to happen. EASM continuously enumerates PHI-handling assets and validates their access controls.
Medical device (IoMT) firmware
Patches arrive late or never. We inventory unsupported firmware versions across IoMT fleets and flag the ones reachable from the corporate network.
Third-party clinical software
EHRs, lab integrations, telehealth platforms all expand the attack surface. Continuous validation against these third-party endpoints, with HIPAA cross-walk.
In practice
Three scenarios from a typical week.
- 03:14
KEV-listed CVE on imaging vendor library
CRPS escalates every asset using the affected version. The imaging team gets a P0 ticket with reproduction before the morning case load starts.
- 11:22
New telehealth integration goes live
CT log + DNS surfaces the new subdomain within minutes. Auto-tagged as PHI-handling based on traffic patterns. First-pass scan validates auth flow and TLS posture before patient traffic ramps.

Q4 HIPAA evidence package assembled
Every finding from the quarter mapped to HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards. Compliance team exports the pack; no scramble before the OCR audit.
