Why Penetration Testing Matters for Healthcare

Healthcare organizations manage vast amounts of highly sensitive data, including patient records, diagnostic results, insurance details, and clinical system access. This makes hospitals, clinics, and healthcare platforms prime targets for ransomware groups and data theft operations.

A successful cyberattack can disrupt patient care, delay treatments, expose protected health information, and trigger regulatory investigations. Penetration testing helps identify weaknesses in systems and workflows before they are exploited, supporting both patient safety and organizational resilience.

At Fortytwo Security, we conduct penetration testing tailored to healthcare environments, covering electronic health record systems, patient portals, medical devices, cloud platforms, and staff access controls. Our assessments strengthen security while supporting regulatory and operational requirements.

The Cost of Poor Security in Healthcare

In healthcare, a cyber incident can directly impact patient safety. Data breaches, ransomware attacks, and system outages can delay care, disrupt clinical operations, and expose protected health information.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly targeted due to legacy systems, complex environments, and the critical nature of their services. Without proactive penetration testing, hidden vulnerabilities in clinical systems, cloud platforms, or staff access controls can leave patients and providers at risk.

Fortytwo Security helps healthcare organizations reduce these risks through comprehensive penetration testing. Our assessments uncover critical weaknesses, validate security controls, and provide clear guidance to strengthen your security posture and protect patient care.
