Healthcare

The Challenge

Web applications are becoming more popular with healthcare organizations as they convert from paper to electronic medical records and offer “self-service” options to reduce costs. Yet, they also pose many challenges:

• How to protect patient data.
• How to deploy new web-based services quickly and securely.
• How to maintain patient trust.
• How to achieve compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS).

Breach Security web application firewalls offer the solution.
