Healthcare and Regulated Environments
Healthcare organizations face stringent regulatory requirements, sophisticated cyber threats, and the operational challenge of managing diverse endpoint devices. SCYLOS transforms every endpoint into a stateless execution surface that resets by design, ensuring compliance, security, and operational simplicity without the overhead of traditional endpoint management.
The Challenge
Healthcare organizations face unique endpoint security and compliance challenges:
- •HIPAA Compliance: Protected Health Information (PHI) must be secured according to strict regulatory requirements with demonstrable controls.
- •Ransomware Targets: Healthcare is one of the most targeted sectors for ransomware due to the critical nature of operations and patient safety.
- •Shared Workstations: Clinical staff share devices across shifts, creating risks of data leakage and session persistence.
- •Medical Device Integration: Endpoints must interact with specialized medical devices and legacy systems that cannot be easily upgraded or patched.
- •Operational Continuity: Healthcare operations are 24/7—endpoint failures or security incidents can directly impact patient care.
The SCYLOS Solution
SCYLOS decouples execution from the operating system, turning healthcare endpoints into stateless execution surfaces that reset by design. Every session starts fresh, eliminating persistence, drift, and the risk of PHI exposure.
- •No PHI Persistence: Patient data never persists on the endpoint—all access is session-based and resets by design.
- •Ransomware Immunity: Even if compromised, endpoints reset to a clean state—no persistent malware, no data to encrypt.
- •Centralized Policy Enforcement: Access controls and configuration are managed centrally and enforced at every session.
- •Zero Drift: Every device operates from the same immutable baseline—no configuration drift, no compliance gaps.
- •Shared Workstation Security: Multiple clinicians can use the same device without risk of data leakage or session crossover.
Key Benefits
HIPAA Compliance by Design
Zero PHI persistence on endpoints with cryptographically enforced access controls and comprehensive audit trails.
Ransomware Protection
No persistent file systems means ransomware has nothing to encrypt—endpoints simply reset to a known-good state.
Shared Workstation Safety
Clinicians can safely share devices across shifts with guaranteed session isolation and zero data crossover.
Operational Simplicity
No endpoints to patch, reimage, or troubleshoot—devices reset automatically, eliminating IT overhead.
Use Cases
Clinical Workstations
Nurse stations and physician workstations that access EHR systems securely without persisting patient data locally.
Mobile Medical Carts
Point-of-care devices that move between patient rooms and require consistent security across all locations.
Administrative and Billing Systems
Back-office systems that handle sensitive financial and patient information with strict compliance requirements.
Telemedicine Platforms
Remote consultation endpoints that must maintain HIPAA compliance across distributed locations and networks.
Why SCYLOS for Healthcare?
SCYLOS eliminates the security and compliance burden of healthcare endpoints by removing persistence entirely. No PHI persists on devices, ransomware cannot encrypt data that doesn't exist locally, and HIPAA compliance is built into the architecture—not bolted on through operational procedures.
With SCYLOS, healthcare organizations can focus on patient care—not endpoint security and compliance management.
