Modernising healthcare security with SASE

At a time when healthcare environments are undergoing an unprecedented digital transformation, with considerable numbers of connected devices, the risk of ransomware is high. It threatens the healthcare system as well as the well-being and privacy of everyone involved.

Today's IT security approaches come up against rigid legacy architectures that require numerous and complex settings and updates.

Measuring and managing the risk profiles of devices that process highly sensitive data is difficult, because healthcare environments are constantly changing. Since it is impossible to protect against threats that cannot be seen or assessed, organisations need to understand their digital footprint and how applications, services and users interact and operate in real time.

Monitoring these transactions makes it possible to identify, in real time, vulnerabilities and potential threat vectors that could be exploited.

SASE meets these needs for scalability, long-term stability and network security.

By taking advantage of the network telemetry built into SASE, digital risks (service continuity, application threats and unusual activity) can be monitored and anticipated.

The SASE model properly integrates network and security architecture elements into a single platform that supports the rapid growth of digital health services and is easy to deploy, manage and update.

Moving to SASE will allow healthcare organisations to better manage cyber risk and secure their day-to-day operations.
