The healthcare industry continues to run into unique challenges during its digital transformation, such as managing a large number of employees with various roles and access privileges, safeguarding ePHI, preventing cyberattacks and data breaches, and sticking to federal compliance regulations and other demands.

Major IAM challenges the healthcare industry faces

Protecting sensitive information such as ePHI

The healthcare industry deals with data such as ePHI that contains sensitive information about patients, including birth dates, medical conditions, and insurance claims. A challenge admins face in protecting this data is detecting and responding to unauthorized file and folder access attempts in real time.

AD360 provides real-time visibility into who changed which folder, when, and from where across Windows, NetApp, EMC, Synology, Hitachi, and Huawei file systems.

Becoming HIPAA-compliant

Staying compliant is critical for healthcare organizations. Specifically, HIPAA sets strict standards for safeguarding the privacy and security of ePHI. Organizations still face challenges in becoming HIPAA-compliant. According to Compliancy Group's report, HIPAA violations have resulted in fines totaling more than $84 million in the last five years.

Healthcare organizations can easily achieve HIPAA and HITECH compliance with AD360's out-of-the-box reports.

Detecting and mitigating insider threats

Detecting insider attacks using built-in AD tools can be challenging. These tools can often mislead admins with false alerts and send an overwhelming amount of unnecessary log data. IT admins struggle to replace the built-in AD tools with a robust threat hunting system that enables them to detect and respond to malicious activities in real time.

By providing intuitive reports and real-time monitoring, AD360 enables admins to gain insights into suspicious user behavior and potential network attacks. Also, admins can leverage AD360's UBA to spot subtle anomalies that might be an indicator of compromise.

How does AD360 help? Our customers speak on our behalf:

  • "We have a very complex file server where a lot of file movement happens every minute. It made the tracking of a file very difficult. [With AD360's] simplicity and detailed file audit, we now have a fully audited file system [and can see] who accessed a file and when."

    Mohsin Malique

    IT administrator, The National Health Service (NHS)

  • "We use ADAudit Plus as a mostly passive tool to log changes made within our AD environment, from GPO changes to user logins and modified attributes. We send out a daily report to our support desk each day to show failed logins for particular users, which could alert it of an attack vector or, more likely, someone who hasn't changed their password across all systems."

    Jared Ellis

    Infrastructure engineer, A-dec Inc.

  • "We purchased ADManager Plus to help us streamline this process and reduce the human error factor. I am happy to say that this application worked perfectly and helped my company immensely (my headaches too). ADManager Plus is perfectly suited for reducing human error in account creation. The templates I needed to create for this were easy, and I was done within a couple of days. I am happy to [say] that account creation errors have been near zero since the rollout of this application. I look forward to using more of its functionalities."

    Matthew Garufi

    Enterprise architect, Seniorlink

  • "We are an emergency healthcare provider. We see the software as good risk avoidance with some good risk management practices that help us meet HIPAA compliance. We chose AD360, which works 24/7/365 like us."

    JT Mason

    director of IT, California Transplant Donor Network (now Donor Network West)

  • "The best parts of the software are the ease of implementation and the useful range of reports available to us. It has saved us so much time and it is very user-friendly. Pulling reports is also very quick and efficient. The product is definitely worth the investment! I also want to mention that I am very impressed with the tech support team and its competence and quick response time!"

    Pearlie Robinson

    Security engineer, NorthBay Healthcare
