The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) prescribes new health care industry rules and recommendations for the handling and transmission of patient health information. 

Healthcare organizations face a host of HIPAA Security Rule compliance challenges with the move to put patient medical records online. Lumension helps organizations address these compliance challenges by providing the proactive IT risk management and the required audit readiness to meet many aspects of the HIPAA Security Rule. 

The HITECH Act has helped to not only increase productivity, but to streamline data exchange. While this increased efficiency, there are also many requirements that must be met in order ensure that these exchanges are HIPAA compliant. In this e-guide, learn how a well implemented security program can secure patient medical records. 

Effectively addressing the new HIPAA privacy and security rules introduced in the HITECH Act requires an assessment of your organization’s biggest vulnerabilities as well as the deployment of the right technology to reduce the risk of data loss. Inside this expert resource, gain insight on current healthcare security topics. 

This whitepaper reviews guidelines for meeting the HIPAA privacy law's requirements and offers recommendations for how providers can build a sustainable approach to HIPAA compliance and an integrated set of controls across all identity and access management processes. 

This paper examines the complex data security and privacy threat landscape; compliance and regulatory requirements; and, the IBM InfoSphere portfolio of integrated solutions designed to help you stay focused on meeting your organization’s business goals, achieving compliance and reducing risk. 

The goal of this paper is to present the unique considerations that virtualization presents to regulatory and standards compliance, and then prescriptively describe how to mitigate risks. 

Loss of patient data is a top concern for any healthcare organization. They handle some of the most sensitive and personal data on the individuals they treat. Patients trust healthcare organizations to safeguard sensitive data. Read this whitepaper to find more about how a data loss prevention (DLP) solution can protect patient data. 

In order to maintain patient privacy while complying with HIPAA standards, medical records must be tightly protected and there must be a solid backup plan in place in the case of a data breach. In this e-guide, learn how to prevent data breaches as well as what to do should a safety breach occur. 

Increased difficulty in protecting data has heightened the need for organizations to simplify compliance and reduce costs by replacing manual, resource-intensive audit processes with automated controls for all their enterprise applications. Read this data sheet to learn how Guardium 7 addresses the entire database security and compliance lifecycle. 

CIGNA turned to QualysGuard's on demand Web service appliance to automatically identify and more effectively mitigate system vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. 

In this presentation transcript, explore the importance of application security and the business case for building security in from the start.  Find out how your development tools can assist you in meeting your security objectives. 

This guide describes the major workflow processes of vulnerability management and how QualysGuard, as an on demand software-as-a-service automates most of these for fast, cost-effective remediation and compliance documentation.
