Cyber Threat Intelligence
for healthcare

Hospitals, clinics, medical care centers and doctors' practices are prime targets for ransomware and data leak attacks. Patient data fetches high prices on the darknet — and downtime costs lives. Apascope monitors continuously without intervening in clinical systems.

Why healthcare is particularly at risk

Valuable patient data

Health data fetches up to €250 per record on the darknet — significantly more than credit card data.

Critical infrastructure status

Hospitals with 30,000 or more full inpatient cases per year are considered critical infrastructure and are subject to NIS2 with strict reporting obligations.

Outdated IT infrastructure

Medical devices often run on outdated systems. Apascope detects externally visible vulnerabilities without system access.

Medical device supply chain

Suppliers of medical devices and IT service providers are frequent points of entry. Apascope also monitors your critical partners.

What Apascope does for your organization

Dark Web Monitoring for patient data

Apascope monitors darknet forums, leak databases and criminal marketplaces daily for data belonging to your facility — email addresses, credentials, internal documents. Early warning before attackers become active.

NIS2-compliant documentation

Our CIQ360 reports are structured for internal audits and evidence for authorities. The 24h reporting obligation for significant incidents is supported by automatic alerts.

Supplier monitoring

Medical technology manufacturers, IT service providers and external labs: Apascope continuously monitors the security posture of your critical partners and reports any anomalies.

No system integration required

Apascope requires no access to your clinical systems, HIS or KIS. The analysis is based exclusively on publicly accessible and darknet data — without any risk to operations.

Case Study

Ransomware preparation detected early

The situation: A municipal hospital commissions a CIQ360 report. In a criminal forum, Apascope identifies active discussions about the credentials of one of the hospital's IT service providers.

The response: The hospital is informed immediately. The affected service provider access is temporarily blocked, credentials are renewed, and internal systems are checked.

The outcome: The planned ransomware attack is prevented. The facility fully meets its NIS2 documentation obligation.

NIS2 in healthcare

Hospitals with 30,000 or more full inpatient cases are considered essential entities under NIS2. Medical practices with critical infrastructure may also be affected. Obligations: risk management, reporting obligations (24h/72h), supply chain security, training, documentation.

Apascope provides the technical basis for demonstrating continuous monitoring — a central NIS2 criterion. CIQ360 reports are auditable and structured for BSI evidence.
