The Security Challenge

A wave of sophisticated double-extortion ransomware campaigns was actively targeting regional health providers. The client's infrastructure contained over 180,000 connected medical IoT devices—many running legacy embedded operating systems that could not support endpoint protection agents.

The RIVIAL Solution

RIVIAL implemented an automated zero-trust microsegmentation architecture enforced at the software-defined switch port and wireless access point layer:

  • • Agentless Medical IoT Profiling: Automatically fingerprinted and isolated all infusion pumps and telemetry units into dynamically restricted VLANs.
  • • Ephemeral EHR Access Tokens: Clinicians authenticate through cryptographic FIDO2 tap badges, receiving short-lived scoped tokens with zero perpetual DB access.
