Devaluing Healthcare Data with Encryption and Tokenization

Cyberattacks on hospitals and healthcare organizations significantly increased in 2020, with almost half of all healthcare data breaches now blamed on ransomware attacks. While it is vital that organizations protect their perimeter from hackers, securing Protected Health Information (PHI), patients’ Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and payment data is of equal importance. If hackers manage to breach the healthcare system or network and find clear-text data of value, this data can be used to leverage a ransom payout or worse – be sold on the Dark Web, causing irreparable brand and monetary damages. Join Bluefin, the leader in payment and data security solutions, on February 17th to learn about the strategies and solutions that healthcare can deploy across the organization to protect sensitive data, including PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) for point-of-sale (POS) payments and tokenization for the intake of online PHI, PII and payment data.  

Learning Points:

• The types of attack vectors that are targeting healthcare
• The basics of “defending the fort” and securing your system’s perimeter
• The merits of “devaluing the data” with encryption and tokenization
• Types of encryption and tokenization solutions available to healthcare
• Healthcare case study on encryption implementation
