Lumension Solutions for Healthcare

Ensure HIPAA and NHS Compliance with Complete Endpoint and Data Protection, Proactive Vulnerability Management, and Comprehensive Security Policy Reporting

Healthcare Industry Drivers and Challenges

Medical identity theft is increasing faster than retail or banking thefts* simply due to the amount of personal information available. Protecting confidential medical records from data leakage, malware and spyware is critical for healthcare organizations. Audits occur with greater frequency and regulations such as HIPAA and the NHS Directive impact what organizations must do to be safe and compliant.

Adding to the issue is the increasing mobility of healthcare workers with the need to quickly share and disseminate information with doctors, insurance companies and other healthcare facilities. Data protection is more difficult with this type of data sharing because the systems other providers are using are potentially not secure enough. Endpoints which are not configured properly, not up-to-date with the latest patches and unmanaged removable media and applications can easily open the floodgates for data theft.

The modern tactics used by cyber criminals and malicious insiders to compromise data along with broader disclosure laws and increasing regulations are forcing healthcare organizations to take a new and deeper look at IT security.
