No more excuses – Healthcare organizations need to mask their patient data
With Guest Speaker from:
Every week brings more announcements of healthcare data breaches that cost organizations millions of dollars. Healthcare privacy laws continue to change, and keeping up with changes in mandates like HIPAA Privacy Rule 164.502 (b)(1) are also costly. While not easy, masking PHI data in both production and non-production environments is straightforward and can be incorporated into existing enterprise information architectures.
Join our guest speaker, Forrester’s Noel Yuhanna, and Informatica’s Chief Healthcare Strategist Richard Cramer to learn why putting a solution in place that prevents a data breach is far preferred over being forced to implement a solution after a breach has occurred.
In this interactive webinar you will learn:
- Why every copy of patient data that is not masked represents risk, and these risks are easily avoided
- How many of the most common development and testing activities are made better, and easier, using masked data
- Why masking PHI in production applications and data warehouses is an exciting new development in the area of protecting confidential information from inadvertent disclosure and misuse
