Healthcare Cloud Security Myths Debunked

Many healthcare IT professionals have a deep-rooted aversion to the cloud. There's a fear of the unknown when it comes to cloud-based platforms - a perception that because the technology infrastructure is not under the direct control of the healthcare institution it is somehow less secure. However, when you look at the facts, one finds cloud-based systems are perhaps more secure than their traditional on-premise counterparts and a perfectly safe haven for clinical health data.

Health IT Outcomes held a webinar, sponsored by ClearDATA and EMC, in which editor in chief Ken Congdon; ClearDATA chief privacy officer Chris Bowen; EMC director of technology solutions for RSA Rob Sadowski; and Ismelda Garza, CIO of Comanche County Medical Center in Comanche, TX directly compared the security attributes of cloud-based to that of on-premise systems. During this exploration, recent industry research was reviewed, revealing the security threats and benefits associated with each approach. Presenters shared insights on how to effectively and successfully incorporate cloud-based platforms into your overall health data management architecture, demonstrating how the paranoia surrounding the cloud is not only unfounded, but counterproductive.
