In the rapidly changing healthcare industry, doctors and other staff want greater flexibility to use new technology in the workplace. But increased flexibility also means increased healthcare security risks, including data loss, vulnerability to malware, and violations of HIPAA compliance and other regulations. Balancing flexibility and data protection has been particularly difficult for the healthcare industry. The penalties for data breaches are increasing dramatically, while FDA regulations restrict changes to medical devices. At the same time, doctors and other healthcare providers are eager for faster access to information, which helps them provide better care to patients.
To help healthcare providers realize all the benefits of new technology without increasing risk, McAfee provides healthcare security solutions in four key areas. These solutions enable you to protect access to sensitive medical information, meet regulatory requirements such as HIPAA and PCI, and achieve the efficiencies necessary for success in a highly competitive industry.
Identify, prioritize, and mitigate the risks associated with external and internal threats, data theft, and weaknesses in your security management program. React quicker with broader visibility and flexibility to bring in context beyond just firewall and application logs.
