The current healthcare threat landscape has proven that perimeter defenses are no longer enough. A recent, massive cyberattack on a major healthcare payment clearinghouse in North America, which impacted an estimated one-third of the population, demonstrates a critical vulnerability in modern enterprise: the network's reliance on DNS. H-Shield is designed to prevent such attacks before they can begin.  An example of a feature of H-Shield is stopping DNS-based reconnaissance.

"We built our reputation guarding the physical entryway to buildings, stopping threats before they can enter. With H-Shield, we are applying that same proactive philosophy to the digital front door of your organization," said Lisa Falzone, President of Athena Security. "We are prioritizing our life-safety customers first because their need to protect their clients' PII and PHI data is absolute. H-Shield puts an intelligent gatekeeper at the most fundamental point of network communication—"

H-Shield is a private, authenticated, and authoritative DNS platform that introduces several innovations:

H-Shield: Elevating Security Standards for Healthcare

Effective immediately, H-Shield will be a core component of all Athena Security deployments for our Weapon Detection System and Visitor Management System within the healthcare sector.

This advanced platform is exclusively available to healthcare clients who implement on-premise or private cloud versions of our WDS or VMS. Athena Security is committed to a clear message for the business community: physical security must be a proactive, foundational measure, not an afterthought.

We believe that human lives are paramount, and their physical safety must always take precedence over digital assets. To underscore this commitment, Athena requires organizations to secure their physical premises before they can leverage the innovative H-Shield platform for their digital security needs. Without this foundational physical security, Athena will not provide access to H-Shield to protect against reconnaissance, ransomware and other malware attacks. This policy reflects our dedication to comprehensive security solutions that prioritize the immediate safety of individuals within healthcare environments.'
