Healthcare agencies making the move to a cloud-centric plan cannot lower their guard on security defenses, claims Chris Bowen, founder and chief privacy and security officer of ClearDATA, a healthcare cloud computing industry.
"People may consider that by offloading security responsibility to the cloud, they will not have to worry, but that is not the case," Bowen stated. "We know that risks exist in the cloud."
Bowen will explain this problem at HIMSS16 along with J. Gary Seay, senior vice president and CIO of Community Health Systems in a presentation titled, "Establishing a Cloud Security Roadmap."
Bowen and Seay will consider at the particular security issues facing healthcare organizations, which mostly rank behind retail and financial agencies in creating hardened, multi-layered accesses. The session will indicate how to establish a cloud security roadmap that can remove the main causes of information breaches using a "Defense in Depth" multi-layered approach to security.
The discussion will also look at how a contributor enterprise can establish a defense strategy that hardens security at 7 distinct layers: physical; network; application; server; data; devices; and users. If implemented right, cloud technology enables agencies to take benefit of many layers of security, which may range from data encryption to threat management, and drive accelerated compliance, cost savings and data analytics for healthcare agencies.
