Lumension Sponsored Webinar Discusses Ways to Protect Patient Data and Comply with HIPAA Security Mandates
Lumension to present alongside United Health Care System on how to protect electronic medical records by enforcing device control and data encryption policies
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) August 12, 2009 -- In an increasingly online health care environment where patient's medical records are shared among many medical professionals including doctors, insurance companies, healthcare facilities and others, the risk of improper electronic protected health information (EPHI) disclosure is on the rise and at an all time high. According to Forrester, 52% of companies surveyed have suffered data loss via a USB thumb drive or other removable media devices. With an urgency to digitize medical records, organizations face new challenges to implement administrative, technical and physical security policies to effectively protect sensitive electronic health information while also addressing HIPAA Security Rule requirements.
