Patient and Client Data Leakage Can Be Costly


 
0

In December, 2006, the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse reported that over 100 million records containing sensitive personal information had been involved in security breaches due to carelessness, accidents or flawed business processes. As patient records are computerized and healthcare companies embrace the Internet more fully, the risks associated with patient data loss grow steadily. Similarly, as law firms are entrusted with an increasing amount of discovery and evidentiary material in digital format, the potential for unauthorized information loss increases significantly.

These information losses can be costly for healthcare and legal firms in a number of ways:

  • Fines for violating privacy laws and regulations
  • Fines and censure for violating court orders
  • Remediation costs
  • Litigating shareholder and client lawsuits
  • Client defections due to lack of confidence in security measures
  • Loss of market capitalisation

Complete, Affordable Protection Against Data Leakage

Code Green Networks provides healthcare and legal firms with automated, easy to use and affordable protection against the two most common types of data leakage:

  • Outgoing email, WebMails, instant messages, file transfers and other streams that contain unauthorized sensitive information.
  • Copying sensitive data from desktop or laptop machines to external media such as USB flash drives and CD/DVD ROMs which can then be lost or stolen.

The CI-1500 (Content Inspection) appliance enables IT, security and risk management professionals to easily monitor digital content flows to the Internet, discover data leaks, and enforce automated policies to log, alert, block, encrypt or re-route data. It protects customer data such as social security numbers, medical records and account numbers as well as intellectual property such as documents, research findings, contracts and diagnoses.

The CI (Content Inspection) Agent enables IT and security managers to easily manage device connections on all endpoint machines to ensure that the privacy of your sensitive information is not compromised. From a single Policy Control Center, an administrator can inventory external devices, disable external device connections, monitor files being copied to/from devices and secure data for transit by automatically encrypting it as it is copied.
