Hack the Hospital
What happens when your HVAC gets hacked?
See it. Stop it. Secure your hospital.
A single compromised system can shut down an operating room.
With Hack the Hospital, we show how fast that happens – and how Zero Trust stops it in its tracks.
The Day the Hospital Went Dark
An emergency room freezes mid-surgery. Monitors go black.
Not a power outage – a cyberattack.
Hospitals run 24/7. So do attackers. Hack the Hospital shows what happens when critical care systems get compromised – and how to make sure your hospital isn’t next.
Every Breach Has a Human Cost
– and a Compliance Trail
“Mid-surgery, our sterilization line went offline. We had instruments we couldn’t use.”
Dr. Elena, Cardiac Surgeon
“The breach began with leaked VPN credentials and quickly spread to our water systems.”
Mark, OT Engineer
“After the water systems came back, the questions started. In healthcare, cyber isn’t just downtime. It’s liability.”
Leila, CISO
Featured Scenarios
HVAC System Breach
Modern hospitals rely on networked HVAC to regulate air quality and control infection spread across wards and operating rooms.
In this attack, the HVAC controller is compromised through a shared maintenance VPN.
Within minutes, temperature and air pressure readings go haywire – disrupting critical environments and forcing emergency shutdowns.
When comfort systems connect to care systems, they become part of your threat surface.
Water System Compromise
Hospitals depend on purified and temperature-controlled water for sterilization, dialysis, and patient care.
In this scenario, attackers exploit a vulnerability in the building management interface that controls water pressure and disinfection.
A simple remote code execution turns into a chain reaction – contamination risk, halted sterilization cycles, delayed surgeries.
Even “non-medical” OT systems can threaten patient outcomes.
