FireBreak™ protects electronic health records (EHRs), hospital networks, and connected medical devices by physically disconnecting them from exposure — stopping breaches before they happen.

The Risk to Healthcare Providers

Healthcare organisations face mounting cyber risk from ransomware, insider threats, and third-party system vulnerabilities — all while managing life-critical infrastructure and sensitive personal data.

• Hospitals are top targets for ransomware due to high urgency and operational complexity

• EHRs, PACS, and diagnostic systems are often always online — and exposed

• IoT medical devices introduce new attack surfaces

• Compliance frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, and DSPT demand strong data protection

FireBreak™ gives healthcare IT teams a way to eliminate exposure — by design.

The FireBreak™ Solution: Instant Isolation of Life-Critical Systems

FireBreak™ enables healthcare organisations, hospital trusts, and private providers to:

• Remotely and instantly disconnect critical systems like EHRs, backups, and connected imaging devices

• Physically separate internet-facing systems from internal medical infrastructure

• Block malware and attackers from accessing sensitive systems via lateral movement

• Provide a “break-glass” isolation option during suspected incidents or live threats

• Meet and exceed regulatory standards through enforceable, physical segmentation

This is resilience for healthcare environments that cannot afford disruption.

Real-World Deployment Scenarios

Hospitals: Disconnect PACS or MRI imaging systems from general hospital networks after upload
NHS Trusts: Isolate patient data environments from exposed admin systems
Clinics: Securely segment local EHR servers in private practices
Pharmaceuticals: Isolate R&D data sets during cyber alerts or transfer events
Medical IoT: Control when connected devices are allowed to join or leave the network

Clear Security Gains

• Prevents data breaches before encryption or exfiltration can begin

• Enables air-gapping of critical medical data — without manual unplugging

• Reduces regulatory risk with auditable, physical controls

• Maintains access to critical care systems without compromise

Why FireBreak™ Is Vital for Healthcare

• Designed for high-availability environments — no latency, no dependency on software

• Works even during an active breach or when EDR fails

• Non-IP control channel = no packets, no attack surface

• Simple integration with hospital infrastructure or data centre environments
