PROTECTING THE HEALTHCARE DATABASE

FROM SINGLE PROVIDERS TO THE HOSPITAL ENTERPRISE, KEEPING PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION PRIVATE AND SECURE

DATABASE THREATS

Today's database vulnerabilities along with known security threats continue to challenge even the best organizations

Emerging and developing threat or attack technologies will present new and serious risks to unprotected information

Healthcare organizations must have a better way to protect themselves

DATABASE THREATS

The healthcare database is becoming more vulnerable to attack

Data storage continues to increase More people have greater access Hackers are more sophisticated Technology has advanced Malicious intent greater Opportunity exists for financial gain

DATABASE ACCESS

Many different people and departments, both inside and outside the organization, have access to information stored in the healthcare database IT Staff Internal employees Vendors Insurance Companies Outside Physician offices and clinics Lab & Imaging Center personnel

DATABASE ACCESS

Insider attacks will continue to grow as one of the key reasons for a database breach Immune to firewalls and other security systems Many employees have excessive privileges Organizations are lax with level of access rules Disgruntled employees Insider searches for data on celebrities or

public figures Unintentional insider mistakes Phishing response by legitimate users

PREVENTING A DATABASE BREACH

All organizations need to: Reassess existing security practices

and policies Develop a comprehensive strategy Assess the overall IT environment Evaluate possible situations and

scenarios of unauthorized access Implement a professional grade

encryption solution for data-at-rest

WHICH ENCRYPTION SOLUTION IS BEST?

SOFTWARE

OR

APPLIANCE-BASED / HARDWARE?

APPLIANCE-BASED ENCRYPTION

Hardware or Appliance-based encryption, a superior data-at-rest security solution for eliminating insider threat

Technology works with Database, Web or Application Servers

Offloads high speed encryption processing from database for improved system performance

Non-proprietary, can be used with any OS Scalable to almost any size organization Ideal for Hosted or Cloud Applications Unlike software solutions, encryption keys are

not stored with encrypted data

JANA SERIES TECHNOLOGY Award winning appliance-based encryption

technology Scalable to any size healthcare provider Manufactured by Dark Matter Labs in the

USA Complies with State and Federal security

and privacy rules (HIPAA, PCI) Appliance-based for superior performance

and security Interfaces with database, web, application

or customized servers
