22 Million Patient Records Undetected

January 29th, 2010 admin

We recently talked with a customer in the healthcare industry who was concerned about protecting their patient records. While many of us have become quite familiar with HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, many of us are still learning how to protect those records. And with the flood of devices, widespread access to information, and distributed locations, protecting that data is a real challenge.

When we demonstrated our new discovery capability in our TrueDLP 7.0 data loss prevention solution, a few weeks ago, our client found more than 22 million sensitive patient records were floating around on a variety of PC clients, servers and other devices in various formats and with varying degrees of detail!  They had no idea. With discovery, data can be located and identified in data centers and throughout the network. A terabyte of data a day can be scanned from fileservers, SharePoint servers, email servers, web servers, FTP servers and source code repositories, and discovery scans can be scheduled and reported on regularly.
