HIPAA And Encryption: The Best Practices
OnRamp has posted online a complimentary on-demand webinar discussing discuss the best practices for encrypting Electronic Protected Healthcare Information (ePHI) in a manner that exceeds HIPAA’s guidelines.
“Data breaches are growing in number in the healthcare industry, due in part to the increasing sophistication of hackers and the rising black-market cost of stolen medical records,” OnRamp says on its website. “Despite the levying of fines and penalties for breaches of Electronic Protected Healthcare Information (ePHI), businesses are still slow to effectively adopt one important IT practice: encryption.”
Topics include:
- Understanding HIPAA’s take on the topic of encryption
- Comparing the challenges of encrypting data in transit and at rest
- Using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines as a standard for encryption
- Best practices for accurately deploying and maintaining encryption
