  • Taking Healthcare To The Cloud
    5/6/2019

    Digital technology is helping to transform today’s healthcare system into one that is more aware, collaborative and patient-centric. This is part of a small revolution in healthcare to provide more precise, effective care for patients, whether in-hospital or remote. Unfortunately, existing legacy IT networks are limiting the transformational possibilities of these technologies. The way forward lies in new software-defined networks (SDN and SD-WAN) that will provide an affordable, reliable and secure platform for the next steps in the delivery of value-based healthcare.

    Data breaches are unfortunately becoming more and more common as the never-ending march toward digital transformation carries on while picking up pace.

One is mistakenly treated with a medication intended for the other patient—and has a serious reaction to the drug. Patient mix-ups are all-too-frequent occurrences at many hospitals across the U.S., leading to redundant tests, wrong diagnoses, incorrect treatment services and unnecessary hospitalizations – while increasing costs.

  • The Global Pandemic Has Brought An Increase In External Threats. Still, The Insider Must Not Be Overlooked
    10/20/2020

    For some time, healthcare records and related data have included a wealth of information about a person – and that data, if not properly secured, can be sold on the Dark Web to enrich malicious adversaries. In fact, patient health information often fetches as much as $1,000 per record. When compared to other, more common personally identifiable information, like credit card data, which sells for between $12 - $20 per record, or email addresses, which often get sold in blocks of 1,000 for less than $100, you begin to understand why the healthcare industry increasingly finds itself a preferred target for cybercriminals: over the past decade, healthcare saw more than 2,100 data breaches.
