Simulate real-world attacks and uncover hidden risks with Fortified’s healthcare-focused ethical hackers.
Healthcare is the #1 target for cyberattacks. With Fortified’s Advanced Penetration Testing, you can proactively uncover your organization’s vulnerabilities before an attacker does.
During a penetration test, our certified ethical hackers simulate real-world exploitation to assess your internal networks, public-facing systems, Wi-Fi environments, or web applications.
For healthcare organizations ready to go a step further, Red Team exercises replicate the tactics of more sophisticated adversaries. Combining phishing, social engineering, physical entry, and stealthy lateral movement, these exercises will test your organization’s ability to detect, respond to, and recover from a breach.
Whether you want to target predefined systems with a penetration test, or stress-test your tools and team with red teaming, we can help. Our team of healthcare cyber experts are supported through our 24/7 Healthcare SOC, ensuring context-rich data, real-time visibility, and expert follow-up from start to finish.
Understand how a cybercriminal would exploit your network, applications, or users—without compromising patient safety.
Our Penetration Testing identifies vulnerabilities in your systems. Our Red Teaming evaluates your entire organization’s ability to detect, respond to, and contain an active threat.
Backed by Fortified’s healthcare cyber experts and a 24/7 SOC, we combine strategic insight with healthcare-specific threat intelligence.
Simulate risk in a safe, controlled environment while maintaining uptime, protecting PHI, and preserving trust. Actionable recommendations help you reduce risk without compromising clinical operations.
