Cybersecurity for Hospitals and Clinics in Central America and Latin America

Healthcare systems are the most lucrative target for ransomware attackers: critical patient data, unpatched legacy systems, and the inability to halt operations. Our 24/7 SOC protects your institution without disrupting patient care.

Why hospitals are the preferred color of the attackers

The healthcare sector combines highly valuable data, critical infrastructure, and systems that have historically received little investment in security—a dangerous combination.

warning
Key Data 2025–2026

89% of successful ransomware attacks in Latin America in 2025 targeted organizations without continuous monitoring. The healthcare sector was the second most targeted, with an average cost per incident exceeding $1.5 million USD, including operational downtime.

Patient data = a target for ransomware

Medical records sell for up to 10 times more than financial data on the black market. Ransomware groups target hospitals because the pressure to restore operations makes them more likely to pay. Patient records, diagnostic images, and insurance data are critical assets.

build

Unpatched legacy HIS and PACS systems

Hospital information systems (HIS) and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) often go years without security updates. Many run on operating systems that are no longer supported. This technical debt creates vulnerabilities that attackers actively exploit and that are difficult to address without disrupting operations.

policy

HIPAA + Local Data Protection Regulations

Institutions that treat patients from the United States must comply with HIPAA. In addition, each country has its own regulations governing the protection of health information—Law 8968 in Costa Rica, Law 1581 in Colombia. Failure to comply without documented technical controls exposes the institution to regulatory penalties and civil lawsuits.

Protection designed for hospital settings

Every component of our service takes into account the unique constraints of the healthcare sector: we cannot halt operations, we cannot compromise performance on critical systems, and we must comply with specific health data regulations.

radar

Real-time ransomware detection

A behavioral detection engine that identifies ransomware patterns in their early stages: reconnaissance, lateral movement, and initial encryption. We automatically isolate affected systems before the encryption spreads to critical care systems.

medical_information

Protection of HIS, EHR, and PACS

Specialized monitoring for hospital information systems, electronic health records, and diagnostic imaging systems. We detect anomalous access, patient data exfiltration, and unauthorized modifications without affecting operational performance.

verified_user

Compliance with Health Data Regulations

We automatically generate the documentation required by HIPAA (Business Associate Agreements, Risk Assessments) and local regulations. We maintain logs of patient data access, security audits, and evidence for regulatory inspections.

emergency

Incident Response Without Interrupting Operations

Response protocol designed for hospital settings: We identify and isolate affected systems while keeping critical systems in ICUs, operating rooms, and emergency departments operational. The goal is to contain the incident without compromising patient care.

The standards that Your institution must comply

Our SOC is aligned with the security and privacy frameworks that apply to healthcare institutions in Central America and Latin America.

Does your hospital have visibility into what's happening on their network?

Most hospitals in Central America don't detect an incident until the damage has already been done. Let's discuss how BorneoCR can provide you with visibility and protection without disrupting your clinical operations.
