ThreatCanary for Healthcare

Secure healthcare systems where downtime is not an option.

Hospitals, clinics and health networks operate across complex digital environments including patient portals, clinical systems, connected devices, third-party platforms and exposed APIs. ThreatCanary helps healthcare security teams identify internet-facing risk, validate exposure and prioritise action before patient care is disrupted.

Executive summary

Executive summary

Healthcare organisations face one of the hardest cyber security challenges: protecting sensitive patient data while maintaining highly available clinical operations. Modern healthcare environments combine legacy systems, digital patient services, connected devices, third-party platforms, remote access, cloud workloads and supplier-managed applications.

Attackers do not need to compromise every system to cause disruption. A vulnerable portal, exposed API, unmanaged remote access service or forgotten asset can create a path into environments where downtime, data exposure and operational disruption have serious consequences.

Sector challenge

The sector challenge

Healthcare environments are often difficult to secure because technology ownership is distributed across clinical, operational, administrative and third-party teams. Systems may remain in production for years due to clinical dependency. New digital services are added around legacy platforms, while security teams are expected to maintain visibility across everything.

The result is a broad and constantly changing attack surface that cannot be managed effectively through spreadsheets, annual testing or isolated vulnerability tools.

Attack surface

The attack surface

Exposed systems, identity flows, APIs, suppliers and services that attackers can inspect, probe or chain together.

Why traditional security falls short

Why traditional security falls short

Healthcare security teams often receive long vulnerability lists without clear prioritisation. Annual testing can miss changes that happen between assessments. Asset inventories become stale. Basic scanning does not always explain which weaknesses are externally reachable, exploitable or connected to critical services.

ThreatCanary approach

How ThreatCanary helps

ThreatCanary provides continuous external visibility across healthcare digital environments. It discovers exposed assets, identifies risky APIs, validates exposure and helps teams prioritise weaknesses based on real-world exploitability and operational impact.

Key capabilities

Key capabilities

ThreatCanary combines discovery, API intelligence, validation, reasoning and executive reporting in one operating model.

External Attack Surface Management

Continuously discover exposed assets, domains, subdomains, services, technologies and misconfigurations across the external attack surface.

API Security

Identify exposed, forgotten or risky APIs that support digital services, customer platforms, partner integrations and operational workflows.

Shadow Asset Discovery

Find assets that are unmanaged, forgotten, supplier-hosted or outside normal inventory processes.

Exposure Validation

Move beyond theoretical vulnerability lists by validating which weaknesses are visible, reachable and meaningful.

Attack Path Reasoning

Understand how exposed assets, vulnerabilities, APIs and technologies can combine into realistic attack paths.

AI-assisted Offensive Security

Use AI-assisted reasoning to accelerate analysis, connect signals and support offensive security workflows.

Continuous Monitoring

Track external exposure as it changes over time so teams can respond before attackers take advantage.

Executive Cyber Risk Visibility

Translate technical exposure into clear reporting for CISOs, executives, boards and risk leaders.

Sector-specific use cases
