Healthcare
| Protect Patient Data, Stop Breaches
Healthcare organizations face billions of dollars in damages from cyber breaches each year, not to mention the personal cost to patients when sensitive health information is exposed. Hospitals, insurers, and providers must safeguard vast amounts of private data while adopting new digital health technologies – a combination that unfortunately attracts hackers.
Unique security pressures in healthcare
The healthcare industry is in constant flux – more data, more connected devices, more cloud services – and with that comes more opportunities for breaches. It’s little wonder hackers target healthcare as an “industry of choice.” Yet many organizations find that simply meeting compliance requirements (HIPAA, etc.) does not equal actual security. Often, known vulnerabilities remain unaddressed because resources are directed toward regulatory tasks instead of technical fixes. The result can be exposed data and systems even in compliant organizations.
Protect patient records first
Your patients trust you with their health and personal information, and you owe it to them to keep that data safe. RedShield helps justify that trust by identifying vulnerabilities and applying in-flight security patches to fix them before they can be exploited. Our in-flight patches ensure that even if your systems have weaknesses, they won’t result in a data leak. We make sure that no bug in your web applications will cause you to lose patient Personal Identifiable Information (PII) or protected health information. In short, RedShield helps you deliver an uncompromising defense of patient data, preserving your reputation and their privacy.
Don’t settle for partial compliance
Storing and securing PHI is an ongoing challenge. Achieving HIPAA compliance requires robust monitoring and logging, but many healthcare providers still struggle despite using advanced tools. RedShield adds an essential layer of protection by automatically fixing system vulnerabilities that slip through your current defenses. We protect sensitive data as it flows between applications, ensuring that even if one system has a flaw, it can’t be used to compromise patient information.
Cover legacy gaps and slow patches
As healthcare organizations forge ahead with new tech, legacy applications can be left behind in terms of security. It’s easy to “drop the ball” on older systems while focusing on innovation. About 60% of organizations have vulnerabilities older than two years that are unpatched, and critical/high-risk bugs can take on average 4–6 months to fix through normal processes. RedShield changes this equation: we quickly find and fix your application weaknesses – old or new – so your operations remain secure and uninterrupted. Business continues as usual, and you gain time to permanently fix those issues without exposure in the interim.
Full-spectrum threat defense
The healthcare sector faces threats ranging from ransomware to API attacks on medical IoT devices. RedShield provides coverage against them all. We mitigate OWASP Top 10 attacks, account takeovers, bot abuse, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS), and advanced targeted exploits aimed at your applications. Our real-time reporting lets you see every attack attempt and how it was stopped, and our 24/7 security team is always on standby. Whatever comes your way – a sudden surge in traffic or a zero-day attack – we’ve got you covered.
