Case Study: Leading Healthcare Provider secures patient data with Thales e-Security

Leading Healthcare Provider Protects Vital Client Assets With Help From Thales

Leading Healthcare Provider, a North America-based healthcare provider with more than 50 years in business, needed affordable encryption to protect patient health information across databases, applications, and log files. The company said its broad portfolio of services, including PACS and image storage technology, created a wide attack surface, and it needed a solution that would meet HIPAA and PHI requirements without disrupting its patient management system or PACS applications.

The company trialed and then deployed Vormetric Transparent Encryption from Thales e-Security. Thales enabled the team to encrypt several terabytes of structured data, choose specific databases or file groups, and encrypt and decrypt data on the fly without application disruption, while working with existing security tools. The healthcare provider said the solution reduced resource overhead, fit its budget, and scaled to petabyte levels.
