Sophos Cybersecurity for Healthcare
Advanced Protection for Patient Data, Medical Systems & Clinical Operations - Powered by MDR.
Healthcare organizations face some of the most relentless cyber threats of any industry. Attackers increasingly target patient records, connected medical devices, clinical systems, and remote locations - and the consequences are far more than financial. Downtime impacts patient care, privacy, safety, and compliance.
Why Healthcare Organizations Choose Sophos MDR
Sophos delivers fully managed 24/7 MDR protection, purpose-built for healthcare environments that cannot afford disruption. Whether you're securing ePHI, connected devices, multi-cloud workloads, or a distributed network of clinics, Sophos MDR helps your team detect, investigate, and neutralize threats faster than in-house teams can respond alone.
