IronPort Solutions for Healthcare Organizations
The healthcare industry is facing unique challenges when it comes to email security. With patient privacy being of the utmost importance, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) places a number of requirements on its information handling practices, with a direct impact on the operation of email messaging systems.
Being HIPAA compliant reaches into all areas, including the transmission of patient information. IronPort is the exclusive secure messaging provider endorsed by the American Hospital Association (AHA). This endorsement was established to provide a standardized secure messaging solution to comply with stringent HIPAA regulations for patient and information privacy and security in the healthcare sector.
- "IronPort has one of the few products that simply works—they built a great solution that really solves the problems of email security management in my network."
