Reducing Cyber Risk Where Patient Safety and Continuity Matter
In healthcare, cyber risk is not limited to data exposure. A successful attack can disrupt clinical workflows, delay diagnosis or treatment, and compromise patient safety. As healthcare environments become more interconnected—spanning electronic health records, diagnostic equipment, cloud platforms, and third-party systems—the consequences of real exploitability increase materially.
Attackers target healthcare because operational disruption creates extreme pressure to pay, while patient health data retains long-term black-market value.
Where Traditional Security Falls Short in Healthcare
Healthcare security programs are often overwhelmed with findings but under-supported in decision-making.
Vulnerability scanners, compliance checks, and periodic penetration tests surface large volumes of issues across IT systems, medical devices, and operational technology. What they rarely provide is clarity on what actually matters in a clinical context:
- Can this weakness be exploited in practice?
- Does it enable access to patient records, device control, or care disruption?
- What should be fixed first when downtime is not an option?
- Did the remediation work—and will it still work after system updates?
Scapien's Approach: Exploit-Validated Risk in Clinical Environments
Scapien is designed to bring clarity where healthcare security programs struggle.
Instead of reporting theoretical exposure, Scapien uses human-led adversary testing to prove which weaknesses represent real attacker paths in a healthcare context. Only issues that are demonstrably exploitable are elevated as risk.
Each validated exploit is delivered as Exploit-Validated Risk, prioritized by real-world impact—such as exposure of protected health information, disruption of diagnostic systems, or interruption of care delivery—rather than generic severity scores.
Preventing Regression as Healthcare Systems Change
Healthcare environments change constantly. Device updates, software patches, configuration changes, and vendor integrations routinely reintroduce exposure—often without visibility.
Scapien addresses this through its iPAS platform. Once an exploit path is remediated, it is codified into a safe, reusable Exploit Replay. These replays are executed on an approved cadence wherever the same conditions exist, continuously verifying that fixes remain effective.
Built for Healthcare's Operational Reality
Scapien does not replace existing security tools, internal teams, or remediation partners. It removes ambiguity.
By proving exploitability, prioritizing risk by real-world impact, delivering prescriptive remediation, and continuously verifying closure, Scapien helps healthcare organizations reduce real exposure without disrupting care delivery or adding operational burden.
In healthcare, security decisions have clinical consequences. Scapien is built to support them with evidence, not noise.
