Cybersecurity for healthcare

Cube Cyber secures Australian healthcare environments, digital hospitals, health services and the clinical systems, medical devices and converged IT/OT networks inside them, where availability is a patient safety requirement, not a service level. We have designed and delivered security architecture across some of Queensland's largest digital hospitals, and we bring that depth to health organisations of every size.

THE RISK

The sector's security reality

1

Availability is clinical

Availability is clinical, taking a system offline to patch, isolate or investigate can affect care in progress, so the standard IT security playbook, reboot it, patch it, block it, needs rethinking before it enters a ward.

2

Medical devices are computers with long lives

Medical devices are computers with long lives, infusion pumps, imaging systems and monitoring equipment run embedded software on ten-to-twenty-year lifecycles, often vendor-locked, rarely patchable, and increasingly network-connected to everything else.

3

Health data is the most targeted data

Health data is the most targeted data, rich, permanent and valuable, patient records attract ransomware and extortion crews specifically, and the sector's breach statistics show it, with notification obligations to match.

4

Converged networks concentrate the risk

Converged networks concentrate the risk, clinical, corporate and building systems increasingly share infrastructure, so a phishing email in administration can, in a flat network, reach the systems running theatres and wards.

OUR EXPERTISE

How we help

We don't provide a generic package. We adapt established cybersecurity disciplines to the realities of this environment.

Clinical-grade security architecture

Clinical-grade security architecture

Design and build of security for hospital and health environments, segmentation that isolates clinical systems and medical devices without breaking clinical workflows, delivered across some of the most complex digital hospital builds in the country.

Medical device and OT security

Medical device and OT security

Passive asset discovery, risk-based vulnerability management led by compensating controls, and monitoring across clinical device fleets and building systems, more than 10 years of OT experience applied where patching is not an option.

24/7 monitoring with clinical context

24/7 monitoring with clinical context

Our Australian hybrid SOC watches health environments with detection tuned for clinical realities, response actions designed with clinical engineering, and client data kept onshore.

Governance and compliance

ISO 27001 programs, Essential Eight uplift and risk frameworks that satisfy boards, auditors and, for covered entities, SOCI obligations, evidence generated from live data rather than annual archaeology.

Incident readiness and response

Incident readiness and response

Response plans and exercises built for health, where isolate the ward is not a decision anyone makes lightly, plus retainers and breach investigation with the NDB scheme's health sensitivities understood.

Obligations & frameworks

We work across the frameworks health organisations answer to: the ASD Essential Eight and ISM, ISO 27001, the Privacy Act and Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, with its heightened sensitivity around health information, SOCI and CIRMP obligations for covered healthcare entities, and IEC 62443 where clinical and building OT is in scope.

WHY CUBE CYBER

Why healthcare organisations choose Cube Cyber

1

Proven in the hardest environments

Multi-year security architecture delivery across some of Queensland's largest digital hospitals, clinical systems, medical devices and converged IT/OT secured while care continued around the work.

2

One partner across IT and OT

Most providers stop at the corporate network; we secure the clinical and building systems beyond it, and the boundary between them, under one accountable relationship.

3

Availability treated as a security property

Passive methods, clinically-aware change planning and response designed with clinical engineering, security that protects care instead of interrupting it.

Why Cube Cyber
FAQS

Frequently asked questions

Yes, that constraint defines the discipline. Unpatchable devices are protected through network architecture: segmentation that isolates device fleets, restricted communication paths, and monitoring that detects abnormal behaviour, compensating controls tracked with the same rigour as patches, so accepted risk is explicit and defensible.

No, and this is non-negotiable in how we work. Discovery is passive, changes are planned with clinical engineering around clinical schedules, and anything touching care-adjacent systems moves at the pace the environment permits. In health, availability is a security property, we design for it, not around it.

Health information is treated as particularly sensitive under the Privacy Act, and breaches involving it are assessed for likelihood of serious harm with that weighting. Our readiness work maps the decision pathway in advance, and our breach investigations establish data impact at the certainty notification decisions require, with your counsel.

Both. The digital hospital work demonstrates depth, but the same disciplines scale to day hospitals, aged care, allied health and health technology providers, from small business through to enterprise, scoped to the environment and the obligations, not to a minimum size.

With visibility: a security architecture review scoped for health, including passive discovery of the clinical and building device estate, establishes what exists, what talks to what, and where the risk concentrates. From that baseline, the roadmap sequences itself, segmentation and monitoring usually first, and every subsequent investment is argued from evidence rather than anxiety.

Yes, response in clinical environments is a specific discipline we bring: containment options weighed against care continuity, restoration sequenced by clinical priority, and communication structured for executives, clinicians and, where required, the public dimension. A retainer puts that capability on call with your environment already understood, which in health is worth days.
