Encryption as a defense against data loss

A weak state of data security jeopardizes patient identity and data privacy. Encrypting your data is an important and effective way to mitigate risk, but many organizations are not making extensive use of encryption, according to the results of a Sophos .

We found that only 31% of healthcare organizations use encryption extensively, 49% use encryption some of the time, and 20% don’t use encryption at all.

Encryption is the last line of defense against data loss, making your data unreadable in the event of unauthorized access.

A complete security strategy includes encrypting sensitive data, preventing cyberthreats, and securing users and all their devices.
