Healthcare organizations face increasing cybersecurity threats as attacks grow more frequent and connected medical devices expand vulnerabilities. Protecting patient data and clinical systems now requires more advanced measures beyond traditional security tools. Because many breaches involve lateral movement within networks, microsegmentation has become essential to limit the spread of attacks and reduce potential damage. Updated regulations such as HIPAA Security Rule and HHS 405(d), along with cyber insurance requirements, now emphasize network segmentation as a critical control.
