Skilled Nursing & LTC Security

One ransomware attack on a connected infusion pump can encrypt your entire EHR and force patient transfers.

Take our free 3-minute ransomware risk assessment to score your skilled nursing facility's IoT isolation, EHR protection, and incident response readiness.

Medical IoT devices are direct pathways to your EHR — most nursing homes have infusion pumps and monitors on the same network as patient records.

Ransomware travels fast — if a pump is compromised, your entire EHR can be encrypted in minutes. Patient transfers aren't optional; they're the only option.

Recovery requires a tested backup — without encrypted, offline backups, you're negotiating with attackers. Backups need to be tested regularly, not just assumed to work.

The ShieldForce Facility IoT & EHR Isolation Architecture™

Built to segment medical IoT devices, isolate your EHR from ransomware, and respond to incidents in minutes instead of hours.

Medical IoT Network Segmentation

Infusion pumps, monitors, and other clinical devices operate on a separate network with restricted access to workstations and EHRs. Compromised devices can't spread laterally.

EHR-Agnostic Ransomware Isolation

Your EHR is isolated from ransomware vectors and protected with encrypted, tested backups. If an attack happens, you recover without negotiating with attackers.

Vendor Access Governance

Remote vendor connections for software updates and support are monitored, restricted, and logged. Just-in-time access ensures vendors only access what they need, when they need it.

15-Minute Incident Response

Our US-based SOC detects anomalies and begins containment within 15 minutes. Speed is critical in nursing homes — ransomware left undetected for hours can force patient transfers.

Traditional Network Provider vs. ShieldForce

A traditional network provider manages general IT infrastructure. It doesn't understand medical device networks or what ransomware looks like in a nursing home.

	Traditional Network Provider	ShieldForce LTC Ransomware Defense
Medical IoT isolation	No segmentation	Fully segmented network
EHR SLA monitoring	No SLA; manual support	SLA with sub-15-min response
Incident response time	24+ hours	Under 15 minutes
Multi-facility visibility	Each facility isolated	Unified monitoring across all facilities
Vendor access controls	Unrestricted vendor access	Just-in-time access; fully logged

Common questions

What is medical IoT isolation and why does it matter for nursing homes?

Medical devices like infusion pumps, monitors, and ventilators are often connected to the same network as workstations and EHRs. If a device is infected or exploited, attackers can spread laterally to your EHR. IoT isolation segments these devices on a separate network with restricted access.

Can ShieldForce protect our EHR during a ransomware attack?

ShieldForce isolates your EHR from ransomware vectors like vulnerable vendor connections and unpatched workstations. If an attack happens, the isolation limits spread. Combined with encrypted backups, you can recover quickly without paying ransoms.

How fast is "15-minute incident response"?

Our US-based SOC detects security anomalies and begins containment within 15 minutes. This speed is critical in nursing homes: ransomware that goes undetected for hours can encrypt your entire EHR and force patient transfers.

Does multi-facility visibility help if we run multiple nursing homes?

Yes. If one facility is attacked, we monitor other facilities for the same attack pattern. This lets us block threats across your entire organization before they spread.
