M86 Security Industry Solutions for Healthcare

Sharing Information Saves Lives—and Can Expose Huge Liabilities

Like any other business, healthcare organizations are susceptible to employee misuse of Internet access, but when healthcare employees inadvertently (or purposefully) disclose sensitive patient information, there is a higher price to pay. Patient confidentiality is one of the sacred tenets of those who practice medicine and breaching that trust comes with substantial consequence. There is no margin for error when it comes to securing the healthcare organization's Web and email gateway.
