Case Study: Cloudticity achieves HIPAA-compliant AWS security and streamlined operations with Trend Micro Deep Security

Cloudticity Leverages Trend Micro™ Deep Security to Secure Patient Data on Amazon Web Services

Cloudticity is a Seattle-based managed service provider that builds and manages HIPAA-compliant applications on Amazon Web Services, running about 500 AWS instances for healthcare customers. Faced with strict HIPAA, HITECH and related regulations — and client reluctance to move PHI to the public cloud — the company needed a consolidated, automated security solution that could protect applications and data, secure new instances instantly, monitor logs and traffic, and simplify auditing.

Cloudticity adopted Trend Micro Deep Security, which provides a single console with firewall, intrusion detection, log monitoring, anti-malware and automatic protection on new instances, billed pay-as-you-go through AWS. The deployment enabled regulatory compliance, faster audits, immediate instance protection, reduced time and manpower for security management, higher operational efficiency and profitability, and increased customer confidence in the safety of patient data.
