Healthcare organizations face pressure to modernize workloads and migrate sensitive medical data to the cloud, while securing protected health information (PHI) against potential security issues. They must rapidly roll out online and mobile app healthcare services and modernize the user experience to cope with medical crises like COVID-19, but this can expand surface areas for potential cyberattacks. They must address critical issues while ensuring trusted access control, maintaining security policy, and monitoring adherence to PHI safeguards and regulations like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, FISC rule-sets, and regional compliance in a siloed healthcare workforce.
Organizations must weigh security, compliance, data privacy, and accessibility
