Securing Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) Through Layered Security Publications
|
This white paper will focus specifically on the privacy and security rules applicable to electronic protected health information or ePHI. ePHI is individually identifiable health information that is maintained or transmitted in electronic media. Industry professionals refer to this as ePHI at rest or ePHI in transit. One of the primary goals of HIPAA and the Security Rule is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of this data. In the Security Rule the HHS laid the groundwork for a complete network security solution for covered entities. Many different technologies and risk mitigation solutions can be used to create a comprehensive -- and potentially complex -- security system. "Layered security" is a multi-faceted approach to examining and assessing network security vulnerabilities in three areas: Edge Security, Core Security, and System Security. Layered security creates a complete and fully redundant solution to protect ePHI. Free Register for Free |
