Secure64 LineGuard delivers advanced DNS-layer cybersecurity specifically built to protect hospitals, clinics, healthcare systems, and medical research organizations. As healthcare faces unprecedented threats to patient data, medical devices, and care delivery systems, LineGuard offers comprehensive protection where it matters most—at the DNS layer.
Healthcare has become one of the most targeted sectors for cyberattacks, with ransomware capable of crippling hospital operations and phishing attacks threatening the integrity of patient records, electronic medical records (EMRs), and financial data. The growing use of medical IoT devices, many of which lack built-in security, introduces additional vulnerabilities, particularly to DNS-level threats.
Regulatory frameworks like HIPAA and HITECH require healthcare organizations to enforce strict security controls to protect sensitive information and maintain compliance. Secure64 LineGuard provides critical protection by blocking threats at the DNS layer before they reach internal networks, securing patient care environments at their first point of exposure.
Secure64 LineGuard blocks DNS-based ransomware, phishing, and credential theft aimed at compromising protected health information (PHI), providing a crucial line of defense for healthcare organizations. By intercepting threats at the DNS layer, LineGuard also prevents data exfiltration attempts from compromised devices, helping to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive patient data.
Secure64 LineGuard protects medical equipment and connected devices, which often cannot support traditional endpoint security, by blocking threats at the DNS layer. This prevents command-and-control (C2) communications, botnet activity, and malware from reaching these vulnerable systems, ensuring uninterrupted operation and safeguarding patient safety across connected care environments.
Secure64 LineGuard delivers carrier-grade high availability to ensure uninterrupted DNS resolution for clinical systems, lab equipment, and critical care services.
Its built-in redundancy and automatic failover mechanisms prevent service disruptions even during network outages, maintaining seamless access to essential healthcare functions. By preserving system uptime, LineGuard supports hospital profitability through operational continuity and enhances patient satisfaction by minimizing delays in care delivery and service availability.
Secure64 LineGuard’s DNS-layer security aligns with HIPAA Security Rule requirements by supporting administrative, technical, and physical safeguards necessary for protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI). It provides comprehensive audit trails, detailed policy logs, and automated reporting, making compliance audits more efficient and less burdensome.
With in-network deployment options, healthcare organizations retain full control over DNS logs and data privacy, ensuring regulatory alignment while minimizing exposure to external risks.
Using the advanced content filtering capabilities of LineGuard, the open WiFi network can be controlled and filtered to block inappropriate content such as Adult, Social issues or other content that might be inappropriate for the setting.
Secure64 LineGuard extends consistent DNS filtering and protection across remote clinics, telemedicine sessions, mobile staff, and work-from-home caregivers, ensuring that security policies remain enforced regardless of location or network connection. This persistent protection safeguards sensitive healthcare data and systems across distributed environments, supporting secure, compliant care delivery beyond the traditional clinical setting.
Healthcare organizations face unique cybersecurity challenges that demand proactive, preemptive protection. Secure64 LineGuard offers DNS-layer defense that protects:
