Case Study: McKesson Health Solutions achieves enterprise-wide encryption reliability with Thales e-Security

McKesson - Customer Case Study

McKesson Health Solutions, part of McKesson Corporation, needed an enterprise-wide solution for encryption and key management that could be deployed across business units without affecting operations or security. The company also needed responsive support for a highly regulated environment where downtime was not acceptable. McKesson Health Solutions selected Thales e-Security’s healthcare solutions, including Vormetric Transparent Data Encryption, Vormetric Key Management, and the Vormetric Data Security Manager.

Thales e-Security implemented a platform that provided key management across disparate file systems, strong separation of duties, and low performance impact. McKesson Health Solutions reported impeccable reliability, with no Vormetric Data Security Manager appliance failures or faltering agents, and said the solution supported compliance with HIPAA HITECH, PCI DSS, FDA, and EPCS mandates. The company also noted that competing encryption products increased file IO and data IO latency by a factor of 50 to 100, while Vormetric consistently scored highest in testing.
