Securing Protected Health Information at Rest

Strong, easy-to-use encryption to safeguard sensitive health data

Next Steps:

Overview

Today, patient information resides on laptops, mobile devices, and databases. As a result, the risk of data breaches has increased significantly, along with the risk of subsequent regulatory fines, litigation, and damage to reputation. Yet, utilizing and analyzing this data is critical and assists in providing stronger healthcare services.

McAfee helps safeguard protected health information (PHI) with seamless, integrated solutions that optimize security architectures. McAfee provides the technology to move your PHI from “unsecured” to “secured” status. HIPAA- and Health Information Techology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH)-approved encryption can be quickly and easily deployed to laptops, files, smartphones, and USB sticks with minimal disruption to the business.
