The same underlying problem, in six recognizable shapes.
"Healthcare" is not a single market. The device-inventory problem shows up differently in each sub-sector, even though the underlying control is the same. Below is how CybrIQ shows up in each.
Acute care — health systems and hospitals.
The full medical-device tail: infusion, telemetry, imaging, OR, pharmacy automation, lab. Multiple sites. Active M&A pipeline. The InfoSec team usually reports up through a CISO and a CIO. Clinical Engineering is typically a separate organization with a separate budget. We produce the device inventory both organizations subscribe to from a single source.
Ambulatory networks and physician practices.
Lower medical-device density per site but higher site count, often with inconsistent IT maturity site to site. The acquisition-integration pattern dominates. Prepositioned ESE instances and standardized read-only switch access make the math work.
Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).
Anesthesia workstations, surgical lights, OR integration platforms, post-op telemetry. ASCs frequently sit inside a parent system but with their own contracted IT — and the ownership of inventory often falls between organizations. We provide a single source of truth that both can reference without political friction.
Behavioral health.
Lower medical-device intensity, higher PHI sensitivity (42 CFR Part 2 in addition to HIPAA — the federal regulation that applies extra protection to substance-use treatment records). Recurring pattern of contractor laptops and traveling clinicians on the network. The risk-analysis hook is the same; the device profile is leaner.
Dental Service Organizations (DSOs).
DSOs operate at MSO scale with hundreds of practice locations and a continual integration pipeline. The medical-device tail is shorter (imaging sensors, intraoral scanners, sterilizer monitoring) but the inventory pattern is identical. The ROI line item for DSOs is M&A integration labor.
Critical-access and rural facilities.
Twenty-five-bed and fifty-bed facilities with thin IT staff and rising cyber-insurance pressure. A single ESE instance, read-only SNMP on the core switches, an inventory artifact a carrier underwriter recognizes. Critical-access hospitals are also explicitly covered by the HHS HPH Cybersecurity Performance Goals Essential tier.
