Protect patient data privacy

Healthcare organisations store and use sensitive data in many places. Sophos' preventive and active protection tools protect your healthcare network – right down to your individual devices.

Secure your data on your Windows, Mac, Linux and virtual machines with Sophos Intercept X endpoint protection. Get the best protection with healthcare-specific data loss protection rules. Hunt down elusive threats and automatically respond to incidents with a comprehensive data set from Sophos XDR.

Get absolute control over who can access data on your network with Sophos Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). You can establish granular controls to block lateral movement and make sure that only authorised parties can access your sensitive data.

Get server workload protection for your on-premises, data centre, and multi-cloud environments with Sophos Intercept X for Server. It stops advanced attacks and enables you to quickly identify and address suspicious activity.

Prevent attacks from reaching your sensitive healthcare data, critical medical systems, and other parts of your ecosystem with Sophos Firewall and its AI-powered threat detection technology.

Stop accidental and malicious data breaches by encrypting your personally identifiable information (PII), patient records, medical images, and other sensitive data sent over email with Sophos Email.

Protect your data and demonstrate compliance if your devices are lost or stolen with Sophos Encryption, which provides a fast, simple method to ensure that your Windows and macOS devices are encrypted.

Use case

Safely access healthcare data across your remote locations

Provide your users with secure access to healthcare data from anywhere.

Connect remote sites and individuals to your main network with Sophos SD-RED, which works with Sophos Firewall.

Control who can access your data with Sophos Zero Trust Network Access, which puts identity at the centre of your defence and constantly validates your users, devices, and policy compliance. Sophos ZTNA provides a transparent "just-works" experience for users and enables your IT team to get new users up and running quickly.

The unique integration of Sophos Endpoint and Sophos ZTNA allows them to share status and health information to automatically prevent compromised hosts from connecting to your networked resources, preventing threats from moving laterally and getting a foothold on your network.

Minimise the risk of supply chain attacks in healthcare

Healthcare supply chains are extensive and intricate. A vulnerability in any of a supplier's networks can quickly spread to infect multiple suppliers and businesses. Sophos provides security technologies and services to help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks.

Sophos Intercept X with XDR

Provides comprehensive defence in depth against threats that enter via third-party suppliers using AI, exploit prevention, behavioural protection, anti-ransomware, and more. Plus, powerful XDR functionality automatically identifies suspicious activity, prioritises threat indicators, and quickly searches for potential threats across your endpoints and servers.

Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

Delivers expert threat hunting and remediation as a fully managed service. Our specialists work around the clock to proactively hunt for, validate, and remediate potential supply chain threats and security incidents on your behalf.

Sophos ZTNA

Granular access controls safeguard your organisation against supply chain attacks that rely on supplier access to your systems. Sophos ZTNA only connects users to specific applications or systems – and not your entire network. It is a cloud-delivered solution that removes implicit trust by validating user identity, device health, and compliance before granting access to your resources.

Strengthening Cybersecurity for Pharmaceutical Organisations

The pharmaceutical sector is a top target for cybercriminals, as it holds data worth billions of pounds in the form of intellectual property, R&D, and patient and clinical trials information. Sophos addresses the sector's unique cybersecurity challenges that come from its reliance on third-party suppliers, IT/OT convergence, hybrid and multi-vendor clouds, and numerous other factors.
