Exposure Management
for Healthcare
Reduce exposure without putting patient care at risk.
Business challenges
-
Ransomware and outages affect clinical operations and patient safety, not just IT.
-
Medical devices and clinical systems often can’t be scanned or patched like standard IT.
-
PHI sprawls across EHR, imaging, billing, and cloud, with HIPAA and breach-notification obligations.
-
Business associates and vendors hold patient data, and their exposure is yours.
-
Patching must be coordinated with clinical teams around 24/7 care.
Put patient safety and care continuity at the center of CTEM
The SAFE CTEM AI Co-Worker prioritizes and coordinates the work, and your teams retain control over policies, exceptions, and material decisions.
Scoping: Start with the systems care depends on
Scoping that starts with the business, not the scanner.
Find care-critical systems: The Asset Criticality Agent weighs business-service context, data sensitivity, and ownership to identify EHR, imaging, and clinical platforms.
Know where PHI lives: Identify sensitive-data assets automatically rather than by tribal knowledge.
Group by how care is delivered: Business groups by facility, department, application, or environment.
Include business associates: Place first-party assets and third parties in common business groups for ecosystem exposure.
Discovery: One view across clinical and corporate IT
Keep your best-of-breed tools. Add one AI Co-Worker on top.
Unify 150+ tools: Ingest from your scanners, cloud, identity, and application security stack into one knowledge graph.
Zero-drop ingestion: Deduplicated, normalized data you can trust, with no data loss.
Flex Connectors: Bring in specialized or less common tools.
Find the unmanaged: Surface shadow IT and forgotten cloud, including those from acquired facilities.
Prioritization: Same CVE, different patient and business risk
CVSS tells you how severe. SAFE tells you what it costs.
Rank by care and data impact: 25+ parameters combine access, threat activity, exploitability, business impact, and compensating controls.
Connect to financial loss: Show which fixes reduce the most risk in dollars.
Credit existing defenses: Validated controls lower scores, and reachable, unprotected exposures raise them.
Make it explainable: Every priority links to evidence for clinical and compliance stakeholders.
Validation: Evidence before you touch a clinical system
Before you disrupt the business to deploy the patch, your Co-Worker confirms it’s worth disrupting for.
Assess compensating controls: Segmentation, hardening, and identity restrictions matter most where patching is hard. They count when relevant and backed by evidence.
Confirm reachability and exploitability: Know whether an exposure can be reached and exploited before scheduling downtime.
Adversarial Exposure Validation: Safely test exploitability in your environment so clinical teams are asked to accept downtime only for proven risk.
Reduce unnecessary change: Retire exposures already neutralized.
Mobilization: Coordinated fixes, governed exceptions
From findings to fixes.
Reach the right owners: The Ownership Resolution Agent identifies accountable IT, application, or clinical engineering teams via asset tags and CMDB.
Ticket with context: The Remediation Ticketing Agent initiates work with evidence attached.
Track the path to closure: Patch Intelligence follows vendor guidance, with escalation of overdue items.
Govern accepted risk: Time-bound exceptions with rationale, expiry, and audit trail, plus SLA and MTTR reporting.
