SecuraNET UTM – Why it’s important in Healthcare Services Industry

Some specific reasons why the Bulwarks SecuraNET UTM appeals to IT professionals in the healthcare industry include:

• Healthcare is an industry where, in many situations, the timely availability and accuracy of information can literally mean the difference between life and death. As such, the level of criticality and sensitivity of computing functions being conducted on healthcare networks often exceeds that associated with the networks of typical commercial organizations.
• Consequently, it is not surprising that the industry is subject to regulation of how it operates various computer-based components and how it safeguards the privacy and integrity of patient information. Some of these regulations are the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (21CFR Part 11), and FDA Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. All of these regulations work to implement a comprehensive set of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect networks and systems, and, in turn, the information that is transported and stored.
• The basic issue at hand is the opening of the hospital network to the general public, and the political stakes and government regulations need to work towards pushing this new deal.
