Enhance system security with cloud-native imaging solutions

one

quarter of healthcare organizations

have experienced a cyber attack in the

past year,

Ransomware can result in the loss

of access to patient records for weeks

or months, even when the ransom is

paid, on average,

the cost of recovering from a ransomware

attack for a health care provider is $1.4

million.

Additional impacts include lost

productivity, reputational damage

and service disruption, including

lifesaving patient care.

With some re platform and imaging systems,

applications retain the vulnerabilities

of traditional systems. Even with

encryption, clinical data storage

is organized in standard file system

hierarchy, and most ransomware

attacks achieve access through file systems.

In simplest terms, ransomware

attacks data where it sits.

If a big chunk of data sits on a single

drive, it's easy to find and

in many instances only a single

layer of defense exists

using cloud native architecture.

A hierarchical file structure is

not required. Data can be broken

up and managed through encrypted ap

eyes. That makes it far more

difficult for ransomware to gain access.

Additionally, each element of the

solution contains its own protection,

networking, software

storage services, identity

and access management and hardware

infrastructure. Third party

certification of the solution providers,

compliance with standards such

as high trust sock to and others

helps ensure the solution provider

complies with current security best

practices.

Certification also provides customers

with clear independent assessments

of the solutions, security capabilities

and practices when evaluating

certification of cloud solutions. It's

critical to confirm exactly what

has been certified. Both the cloud

infrastructure provider if hosted

on a public cloud or third party private

cloud. And the solution provider

should be separately certified by applicable

bodies.

Importantly, certification of

the security standards of an infrastructure

provider does not carry over to the

solution that sits on the infrastructure.
