Ransomware affecting clinical systems
Patient diversion and loss of access to records, with patient safety in the loss model rather than only revenue.

Sector pack
Healthcare
Clinical continuity and patient data in the same estate, governed by a healthcare-specific control standard in some markets and by general privacy law everywhere. Connected medical devices sit awkwardly between IT and OT.

What makes this sector different
The platform does not change. The regulation, the scenarios and the emphasis do.
- Health data carries a higher bar. Privacy regimes treat it as a special category with stricter conditions and consequences.
- Sector-specific control standards. Healthcare information and cyber security standards apply in addition to the national regime.
- Devices are neither IT nor OT. Connected clinical equipment often cannot be patched on a normal cycle and rarely appears in the asset inventory.
- Continuity has clinical consequences. Loss magnitude includes patient safety, which changes how a resilience investment is argued.
- Third parties hold the data. Laboratory, imaging, billing and insurance partners extend the exposure well beyond the provider.

Loss scenarios in the sector pack
Each arrives with FAIR parameters and calibration guidance, so it can be quantified in USD rather than described.
Patient record disclosure
Special-category data breach with notification obligations and a consequence profile driven by public reaction.
Connected device compromise
An unpatched clinical device used as a foothold, or rendered unavailable during treatment.
Laboratory or imaging partner breach
Patient data exposed at a partner, with the provider carrying the accountability and the communication.
Claims and billing manipulation
Altered claims data, sitting between financial crime and information security.
Loss of a single clinical application
A dependency nobody mapped, discovered when the service it supports stops.
Where the emphasis falls
Clinical asset and device inventory in the asset master; sector control packs in Comply; patient-safety-weighted loss magnitude in Anticipate; and clinical service impact tolerances in Withstand.
