Healthcare - Go Beyond HIPAA Compliance
Ransomware attacks on healthcare facilities cost $77.4 Billion dollars in downtime according to the research firm Comparitech, published Oct. 27, 2023. Insufficient data protection costs the global economy 400 billion dollars per year and 4 million dollars per breach for companies in the healthcare industry. The healthcare industry is among one of the most targeted industries for cybercrimes. It is up to every medical facility to protect patient data.
To achieve this for medical facilities, the implementation of a robust data security system is essential. Ciphertex® is dedicated to enhancing healthcare security and eliminating vulnerabilities in patient and medical data.

Why do healthcare organizations choose Ciphertex Data Security®?
According to a report from the Ponemon Institute, sponsored by IBM, the cost of data breaches is trending upward. Healthcare companies fared the worst of any industry with the average cost per data breach at $10.93 million.
The report went on to disclose that “In healthcare, the cost of detection was high because many of these organizations were ill-prepared, in terms of both the tools and the expertise to understand the root cause of the breach,” explained Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute.
Post data breach costs were high because of regulatory disclosure requirements as mandated by the HHS [U.S. Department of Health and Human Services] and the OCR [Office for Civil Rights]. Healthcare organizations are also being targeted by malicious and criminal attacks due to the value of the information and knowledge that security is not typically the best within these organizations.

Why Do You Need Ciphertex Data Security®?
Storing data in unsecured, scattered locations can lead to inaccuracies, inefficient storage, and vulnerable access points. Ciphertex® healthcare data security solutions help consolidate patient information for quick, secure access. These systems provide strong encryption and user authorization controls. Clinicians and patients benefit from improved reliability and satisfaction across all healthcare environments.
One-third of Americans are affected by healthcare data breaches. In addition to hardware-based AES-256 bit encryption, Ciphertex® offers portable data storage solutions that protect information both at rest and in transit. These data and network security products provide your organization with a best-in-class solution. It is the ideal way to protect your data from online hacks, which are the leading cause of data breaches in the healthcare industry.
RAID protection gives built-in redundancy (backup) to guard against disk failure to meet HIPAA regulations and protect private data. Ciphertex® flexible solutions, real-time remote replication, and snapshots minimize the impact of unexpected incidents and allow reliable secure data access 24/7, with military-grade data protection.
Ciphertex® offers an adaptable and scalable high-performance security solution to handle complications of unstructured data growth. Scale-out software-defined storage (SDS) and scale-up storage solutions are just two of the data storage architectures available through Ciphertex® to securely handle data expansion at any rate, guaranteeing healthcare data protection and encrypting sensitive information at all stages of company growth.
Ciphertex® presents a best-in-class secure medical data archive solution that lowers the cost of data retention within an easily managed and encrypted, portable product for medical clients. With unparalleled high performance, we offer a fast transfer solution that ensures data is available in a hurry when needed.
Passed in 1996, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations are divided into four sections, two of which are privacy and security. The Privacy Rule mandates policies and procedures to ensure the safety of Protected Health Information (PHI) in all forms by healthcare. The Security Rule focuses on purely electronic PHI (ePHI) to ensure confidentiality and integrity while maintaining availability. Physical safeguards of data backup, disaster recovery, and emergency procedures for ePHI were created to comply with the Security Rule and to prevent confidential data from being accessed without having the correct encryption key. Ciphertex® solutions, therefore, meet all current healthcare data protection requirements.
Ciphertex® Data Security provides a comprehensive line of solutions that meet HIPAA security standards for healthcare organizations and medical institutions. With years of experience collaborating with healthcare providers, we understand how to enhance your data protection and compliance while controlling costs.
Our encrypted, portable storage systems support the secure transfer of large data sets between clinics, doctor’s offices, and hospitals. Featuring AES 256-bit encryption, every Ciphertex® device enables medical facilities to manage IT networks securely and efficiently. Centralized storage ensures data is protected by advanced healthcare encryption technology.
Compared with the high cost of a Fibre Channel SAN, Ciphertex® network-attached storage (NAS) servers are highly affordable systems that can be deployed as a storage center for virtualized and clustered server environments, such as VMware, Azure, and Microsoft Windows Failover Cluster. Our NAS data security solutions provide a cost-efficient iSCSI solution to expand storage capacity. With a built-in iSCSI initiator, the Ciphertex® SecureNAS® can also connect to other iSCSI targets over the network and turn them into virtual disk drives (VDDs). Ciphertex® NAS servers support multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) and iSCSI targets. LUNs can be flexibly mapped to, unmapped from, and switched among different iSCSI targets. Designed with CHAP authentication and LUN masking through the advanced ACL (Access Control List), our NAS servers block unauthorized access from initiators ensuring completely secure deployment. Deploy a Ciphertex® scalable virtualization solution to meet your growing storage demands capable of securing private health data following the latest requirements.
Ciphertex® data backup solutions minimize management costs while offering outstanding data storage, security, and management capabilities. Ciphertex® offers smart, comprehensive solutions and personalized support for secure data backup. Server backup solutions include encrypted remote replication, Real-Time Remote Replication (RTRR), and cloud-based storage backup, using technologies trusted to help improve national security. Windows and Mac users can use Time Machine to back up client computers to the NAS. Ciphertex® network-attached storage systems support third-party backup software and cloud backup facilities. Connect external storage devices to a Ciphertex® NAS to backup data in the NAS shared folders to external devices. Also back up large-scale stationary databases and clustered servers with secure, portable NAS servers over your existing network environment.
