Malicious actors target healthcare organizations around the world for the vast amounts of sensitive patient information they contain. In the event of a global health crisis, when hospitals are on the front lines, they also become targets for crippling ransomware attacks. These incidents put a strain on the IT teams in healthcare that are already stretched thin in these unprecedented times.
To secure sensitive health records, it's essential to discover all instances of this data across all devices in your network. If a user unwittingly downloads it in a workstation with lesser security controls, the security posture of the entire organization could be at risk. It's therefore crucial to discover all instances of sensitive data across every single device in your network and ensure that unnecessary copies are duly eliminated. Log360 can help you do this with its predefined rules to discover sensitive data like personally identifiable information. If the data you want to scan for isn't defined in the existing rules, you can set the required parameters and create your own rules. Based on this, Log360 will start looking for the information right away.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a compliance regulation that states that every patient's health information should be protected from unauthorized access. To comply with this, all health care organizations need to establish systems and controls to ensure that this data is secured. Log360 helps IT admins comply with HIPAA by auditing access to critical data. If a compliance violation is detected, the security admin will be alerted immediately via email or SMS.
