Cybersecurity Protection for the Devices That Keep Patients Alive

Modern hospitals rely on thousands of network-connected medical devices. Each one is a potential entry point for cyber threats. HERO Shield is our specialized medical device cybersecurity solution designed to protect your patients, your data, and your reputation by helping you identify vulnerabilities, manage risks, and build a more secure healthcare environment.

Healthcare Cybersecurity Risks in Numbers:

Data Breaches are Increasing

In 2024, healthcare accounted for 20% of all data breaches worldwide.

Medical Devices as Entry Points

Over 60% of healthcare organizations have reported device-related vulnerabilities.

Costly Recovery

The average time to identify and contain a healthcare breach is 329 days and the cost is $10.93 million, on average.

Patient Trust at Risk

45% of patients affected by breaches report a loss of trust in their healthcare provider.

Cost of Downtime

Hospitals lose an average of $7500 per minute during downtime caused by cyber attacks.

What HERO Shield Offers:

Comprehensive Inventory Management

HERO Secure ensures all networked medical devices are accounted for and managed.

Collaboration with IT teams

We partner with your IT department to proactively mitigate vulnerabilities and patch important devices.

Detailed Risk Assessments

Detailed analysis and actionable strategies to strengthen device security.

Regulatory Compliance Support

Helping you to meet HIPAA. FDA, and other cybersecurity standards.

We bridge the gap between clinical engineering and IT — making cybersecurity a shared responsibility, not a siloed concern.

What HERO Shield Delivers:

Full Networked Device Inventory

We identify every connected medical device in your environment — even the ones that often go unnoticed — so you know exactly what you’re working with.

Risk Assessment & Classification

Our team helps evaluate device vulnerabilities, assign risk levels, and prioritize mitigation efforts — all aligned with industry standards and your internal IT policies.

Mitigation Strategy & Coordination

We collaborate with your IT and clinical teams to segment networks, apply patches (where possible), and coordinate with OEMs to address known threats.

Documentation for Compliance

Whether it’s Joint Commission, CMS, or internal audits — HERO Shield provides the records, reports, and processes you need to demonstrate a solid cybersecurity posture.

Ongoing Monitoring Support

Cybersecurity isn’t a one-time event. HERO Shield includes support tools and ongoing risk awareness to help you stay ahead of emerging threats.

Why HERO Shield?

We Know the Devices

Our team lives and breathes medical technology — we understand how these devices work, how they connect, and where their vulnerabilities lie.

We Work with Your IT Team

We don’t take over — we team up. HERO Shield strengthens collaboration between biomed and IT to create a stronger, safer hospital.

We Make Risk Actionable

We don’t just hand you a spreadsheet of problems. We help you prioritize and actually solve them — efficiently and effectively.

A Modern Approach to a Modern Threat

Medical devices aren’t like laptops. They can’t always be patched. Many can’t even be upgraded. That’s why you need a plan tailored to these systems — and the clinical workflows they power.

HERO Shield gives you visibility, accountability, and peace of mind — all backed by HERO’s trusted clinical engineering and compliance experience.
