Aelix Shield, cyber resilience and compliance
Security that enables care.
Compliance on autopilot.
94% of US hospitals hit by ransomware in 2024 lost over 12 days of operations.Aelix Shield cuts HIPAA audit prep from 90 days to under 6 hours.
Protect patient trust and hospital reputation. Aelix Shield enforces zero trust architecture while automating your HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2 compliance reporting.

Agents that triage, hunt, evidence, and respond. Patient-safety gates always in code.
Healthcare security teams drown in alerts and chase audit evidence by hand. Aelix Shield agents triage the firehose, hunt for stealthy threats across IoMT telemetry, generate continuous HIPAA and HITRUST evidence, and walk an incident from detection to contained. Any action that could affect a patient is gated by a hard, code-level safety check. Not a prompt. The model is never the sole authority to disconnect a clinical device.
SOC Triage Copilot.
Triages the alert firehose, enriches with device context and threat-intel, suppresses known-benign patterns, and writes a verdict with rationale to the queue. Auto-close runs only within a tenant-tuned allowlist of benign signatures. Anything touching a life-sustaining device class is never auto-closed.
Threat Hunter.
Proactively hunts for stealthy patterns that signature detection misses: slow lateral movement, low-and-slow DICOM or HL7 exfiltration, beaconing, APT-pattern reconnaissance. Strictly read-only. Findings promote into the supervised enforcement queue. The hunter cannot quarantine.
Evidence Agent.
Continuously maps system state to HIPAA paragraphs and HITRUST controls, drafts the audit-ready report, and points to the source artifact behind every claim. Posture changes (forcing MFA enrollment, deprovisioning, timeout changes) are drafted, never auto-executed.
IR Copilot.
On a confirmed incident, assembles the full picture (affected device, clinical impact, lateral-movement map, threat-intel attribution, blast radius) and proposes a containment plan. Autonomous enforcement is restricted to non-clinical, single-device, reversible actions on an allowlist. A code-level clinical-safety interlock blocks any enforcement that targets a moderate or high clinical-risk device unless a human confirmation token is present.
Ask Aelix.
Natural-language Q&A over the appliance: which devices are missing MFA, lateral-movement events on the ICU VLAN this week, current HITRUST control status. Strictly read-only. RBAC enforced at the tool layer, not the prompt. The agent physically cannot query data the user’s role forbids.
Rule Smith.
Reviews recurring missed and false-positive patterns and drafts new detection rules and tuning. Drafts only. Every rule is human-reviewed, staged-tested against historical traffic, and deployed through normal change control. No rule ships through the agent.
Patient-safety interlock in code, not in a prompt.
Any enforcement tool call targeting a moderate or high clinical-risk device fails closed unless a human confirmation token is present. The biomed-engineer-at-bedside rule applies, the same as for human-initiated isolations. The model is never the sole authority to disconnect a clinical device.
Attacker-controlled telemetry is data, never instructions.
Alert payloads (URLs, hostnames, file paths, attribution hints) are delimited as untrusted data. A poisoned alert cannot invoke a tool by itself. Schema-validated tool input and output. No free-form database query.
Read-only by default. Mutating tools are gated.
Read tools run automatically. The handful of mutating tools (port quarantine, firewall block, posture change) are dedicated, allowlisted, rate-limited, and require either a code-level allowlist match or a human approval token.
Degrades to manual workflows.
If the reasoning model is unavailable, agentic features disable cleanly. The existing manual quarantine, manual evidence collection, and manual triage workflows remain unchanged. Agents are an enhancement, never a dependency.
What ships first
Phase 0 ships Ask Aelix (read-only Q&A). Phase 1 ships the Triage Copilot with gated, allowlisted auto-close on known-benign false positives. Evidence Agent, Hunter, IR Copilot, and Rule Smith follow once the read-tool layer, RBAC enforcement, and audit pattern are mature. Autonomous enforcement on clinical-risk devices is explicitly not in scope. Earned per action type, not granted broadly.
The reality in healthcare
The top cybersecurity threats in healthcare demand a new defense.
Ransomware attacks.
Hospitals are the #1 target for crippling ransomware that halts patient care.
Audit anxiety.
Preparing for HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2 audits consumes 60 to 90 days of manual IT labor at a typical 500-bed hospital.
Cloud vulnerabilities.
Migrating PHI to the cloud without continuous threat intelligence exposes patient data.
What Shield does
Zero trust architecture.
Never trust, always verify. Shield continuously authenticates every user, device, and application attempting to access your network, neutralizing lateral movement from cyber threats.
Automated compliance reporting.
Simplify healthcare audit readiness. Aelix Shield automatically logs access controls and generates audit-ready reports for HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2, turning a 90-day manual process into a 6-hour packet.
Cloud and AI data protection.
Adopt cloud and AI securely. Continuous threat intelligence monitors your cloud environments 24/7, locking down anomalies before they become breaches.
The human factor
Building a culture of cyber vigilance.
Technology alone cannot stop a breach. Aelix Shield combines enterprise-grade zero trust software with automated phish testing and staff training modules, so your entire organization is aligned against the top 5 cybersecurity threats.
