This is Health Information Privacy and Security Week and "Confidential is Essential - Protect Health Information" is the theme for the week. Listen as I talk with Frank Irving, Editor of Advance for Healthcare Executives, on the importance of policies and controls and why risk assessment, proactive security practices, and deliberate log management are critical components of an effective and efficient information security program. Irving examines reasons why healthcare organizations fail to properly fund security initiatives; discusses ways in which security executives can integrate information security processes into their risk activities, motivate business leaders to proactively address security needs, and facilitate the audit process; and provides information on resources available to help executives implement, evaluate, and manage their information security programs.
Several of our customers, representing different types of healthcare organizations, are experiencing great success using a SIEM to verify and validate compliance with HIPAA standards and, at the same time, are reporting more efficient and effective security operations function. It’s our goal to provide products, like our new SAFE appliances, that are simple-to-deploy and easy-to-use so that any organization can experience ROI from their information security investments and their compliance spend.
