ESET for Healthcare
Cybersecurity for Hospitals, Clinics & Labs
in Uganda
Protect patient data, secure medical devices, and defend against ransomware with ESET — deployed and managed by Backspace, Uganda's official ESET partner. When hospital systems go down, patient lives are at risk.
Cyber Threats Facing Healthcare in Uganda
Ransomware Targeting Patient Records
Hospitals are the #1 ransomware target globally. When patient records are encrypted, surgeries are delayed, ambulances are diverted, and lives are at risk. Ugandan healthcare providers are as exposed as anyone else, and recovery is harder where systems cannot simply be rebuilt overnight.
Medical Device Vulnerabilities
MRI machines, patient monitors, infusion pumps, and lab equipment run on networks but often lack security agents. Attackers exploit these devices as entry points to the hospital network.
Patient Data Theft
Electronic Health Records (EHR) contain patient names, IDs, medical histories, and insurance details. Stolen patient data is among the most valuable on the dark web, making healthcare a prime target for cybercriminals.
Phishing Targeting Healthcare Staff
Doctors and nurses are busy and distracted — making them prime targets for phishing emails that steal credentials or deploy malware. One clicked link can compromise the entire hospital network.
Every Hospital System Needs Protection

| Medical Devices (MRI, Monitors) | Network compromise via unsecured devices | Network segmentation + ESET Gateway |
| Clinical Workstations | Malware, ransomware, phishing | ESET Endpoint Security |
| Lab Information Systems | Data tampering, ransomware | ESET PROTECT Advanced + FDE |
| Hospital Email System | Phishing, credential theft | ESET Mail Security |
| Billing & Insurance Systems | Financial fraud, data breach | ESET PROTECT Complete |
