HIPAA and Encryption: Best Practices - June 4, 2015 1:00 PM - 1:45 PM CT
OnRamp

Data breaches are growing in number in the healthcare industry, due in part to the increasing sophistication of hackers and the rising black-market cost of stolen medical records. Despite the levying of fines and penalties for breaches of Electronic Protected Healthcare Information (ePHI), businesses are still slow to effectively adopt one important IT practice: encryption.

The HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities and their business associates to implement technical safeguards to protect all ePHI, making specific reference to encryption, access controls, encryption key management, risk management, auditing and monitoring. If your business is not utilizing encryption properly, your data and your HIPAA compliance could be at risk.

Join OnRamp Founder Chad Kissinger and OnRamp Security Engineer Jeremiah Martin as the two discuss the best practices for encrypting ePHI in a manner that exceeds HIPAA’s guidelines.
