Healthcare providers
Today, with so much confidential patient data stored and processed digitally, protecting information is both a business and a technological priority. Every healthcare organization faces potentially far-reaching questions:
- Are confidential patient records truly secure?
- How can networks be secured with limited IT budgets and resources?
- What are the consequences of noncompliance with HIPAA and other applicable privacy regulations? What steps can be taken to ensure compliance?
The StillSecure® suite of network security products is an ideal solution for healthcare providers striving to meet security regulations. StillSecure products secure network assets and allow providers to comply with the legislation governing the use and protection of patient data.
Emphasis on confidentiality
Regulatory mandates such as HIPAA place healthcare organizations on the front lines in the fight to secure data. In today’s economy, the security battle is frequently waged with limited IT budgets and resources.
Common sense dictates that network security be given a high priority at healthcare organizations. A number of crucial issues are driving security decision-making:
- HIPAA—HIPAA is redefining how healthcare providers handle patient and financial data. Although HIPAA regulations are already in effect, compliance can be achieved over time. Can you really afford to wait until the last minute to comply?
- Complex IT environments—Healthcare organizations must typically manage complex networks that include powerful servers, desktops, “thin” computers, and mobile devices. Are you able to control access to your network? Do you know who is accessing network resources and how they are gaining access? A heterogeneous network combined with an overworked and understaffed IT team is a recipe for a security disaster.
- Resource constraints—In a market environment where budgets are tight and resources are at a premium, how can you afford to implement the security measures necessary for compliance? Can you afford not to?
IT organizations at healthcare institutions face serious challenges. A security incident can set an organization back weeks or months and cost a substantial amount of money. Add the stringent requirements of government regulations, and the organization is open to a range potentially damaging consequences, including fines, liability claims, criminal charges, and even prison terms.
Does the old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” hold true today for network security?
