Cybersecurity Solutions for Healthcare

Protect sensitive information with cybersecurity for healthcare

Healthcare faces unique cyber resilience challenges. The industry is targeted for the massive amounts of medical and personal information. And busy medical professionals frequently fall victim to phishing attacks or inadvertently commit careless errors that can lead to a breach.

The Challenge

Healthcare organizations around the world face the challenge of coordinating care between multiple parties while simultaneously protecting the personal health information of patients. And because the sale of medical records is so lucrative, healthcare is an attractive target for attackers.

Ransomware in healthcare is a top threat. By impeding critical patient care, attackers know there is a strong incentive for organizations to pay the ransom. But data breaches are caused by malicious or careless insiders as well – healthcare is the only industry where employees are the predominant cause of breaches. Without data leak prevention measures in place, your organization may expose patient data and risk substantial fines.

Sending Messages Securely

Secure Messaging

Apply key data leak prevention policies at the gateway to stop protected health information (PHI) from leaving the organization or ensure it is encrypted. End user focused tools make it easy for the sender and receiver to communicate securely.

Spear-phishing and Targeted Threats

Targeted Threat Protection

91% of attacks by sophisticated cybercriminals start through email.

Most gateway solutions stop spam and viruses, but fail to address one of the biggest threats facing healthcare organizations.

A Sound Continuity Strategy

Mailbox Continuity

Continue to send and receive email no matter what.

Even the most secure, well-planned email systems go down. With Mimecast C1, an immediate failover means email flow is not interrupted in the event of a mail server outage or planned maintenance. Mimecast keeps sending and receiving email, and gives employees access via Outlook, web, mobile and Mac when on-premises or cloud-based email systems go down.

Raise Security Awareness

Change Employee Behavior to Reduce Security Risk

Even the best employees can be maddeningly careless and resistant to change. Their casual mistakes can lead to disaster — and the cost can be staggering to your organization. Improve security culture with engaging content and advanced risk scoring.

Block more threats

Improve Web Security

While the majority of cyberattacks continue to be delivered through email, 91% of malware uses the web – and specifically DNS – to function once it lands. When combined, email and web represent the initiation point for 99% of successful breaches.

Block activity initiated by user action or malware and access to inappropriate websites. Enhance protection with fully integrated web and email security.
