Healthcare records remain one of the “holy grail” personally identifiable information (PII) data types for criminals.  With patient data being more valuable to attackers than ever, alongside stricter HIPAA and HITECH compliance requirements and an ever-growing device inventory to manage, IT teams modernization projects must account for these risks in their strategic planning. To mitigate the risks being faced efficiently, healthcare organizations need to adopt a 'zero-trust' security approach and start viewing every threat surface, access point, identity, and login attempt as the new security perimeter. By deploying solutions that can verify users and establish device trust while protecting every application (both cloud and legacy), healthcare organizations can quickly and effectively reduce their threat surface and meet compliance requirements.
