Ironbridge Health Alliance (IHA) is a simulated multi-site healthcare enterprise — corporate HQ, a hospital, and a regional clinic acquired mid-build, legacy domain and all — built from the ground up as a security architecture portfolio project.
Healthcare is one of the most complex environments in IT: clinical systems, legacy infrastructure, strict regulatory requirements (HIPAA, HITECH), and a track record of some of the highest-profile security incidents of the past decade. This project treats that complexity as a feature, not an obstacle — an environment realistic enough to architect, defend, break, and redesign end to end.
