Healthcare – Go Beyond HIPAA Compliance
According to the 2016 Ponenom Study, 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 as vulnerable to cybercrime as any. It is up to every medical facility to protect patient data. For medical facilities to do so, a bullet proof data security system must be in place.
Ciphertex is the data storage protection company trusted to improve healthcare security and remove all private data vulnerabilities.

Q – Why do healthcare organizations choose Ciphertex Data Security?
A – Healthcare companies have the most costly data breaches of any industry.
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 stolen record reaching a high of $363.
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.”

What is HIPPA-compliance?
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 HIPPA-compliant
Ciphertex Data Security offers a full line of products to address HIPAA security standards for healthcare organizations and medical institutions. We have extensive experience partnering with healthcare providers, giving us the background to show you how to improve your data security and compliance posture while reducing costs.
Our portable and encrypted security solutions allow large data sets to be securely transported from doctors’ offices/clinics to hospitals for processing. The AES 256-bit encryption featured on all of our products enables medical organizations to run medical office IT networks simply, securely, and cost-effectively, with centralized storage secured by an advanced healthcare data encryption technology.
Seamless, cost-effective integration
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.
Backing up data with Ciphertex
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.
