Simple, cost-effective security solutions designed to improve network efficiency while addressing the ever-growing number of
regulations around patient privacy and security. SonicWALL solutions help ensure the best patient care by providing an environment
that delivers constant protection, no downtime and extended connectivity. Remote access has revolutionized the healthcare industry
and improved patient care, and SonicWALL has taken the lead in allowing providers to implement a secure remote access solution that
they can always depend on.
HIPAA Compliance
HIPAA privacy laws have forever changed the way the healthcare industry operates. This piece of far-reaching legislation calls for the
security and privacy of all electronic patient data, regardless of location. SonicWALL provides HIPAA-compliant solutions to the healthcare
industry, ensuring that every piece of patient data, regardless of location, is absolutely safe from attack. SonicWALL solutions map to every
requirement of HIPAA, including specifications for access controls, audit controls, integrity, authentication, and transmission security.
Wireless Solutions
Another healthcare revolution is quietly taking place in the wireless world, with wireless network access bringing caregivers tremendous new
possibilities in terms of immediate access to patient information, whenever and wherever it is needed. SonicWALL makes wireless networking secure
by integrating 802.11 wireless with enterprise-class, wireless-enabled firewall/VPN gateway appliances. In addition to wireless, secure VPNs allow
caregivers to log in securely from any location—from a remote clinic, from the road, or from home—and gain access to vital patient
information without delay. SonicWALL VPNs are highly secure with strict, user-level authentication, so there is no possibility of a third party
gaining access by impersonating a remote user.
Network Protection
SonicWALL’s firewall gateway appliances also provide hospitals and other healthcare environments with a secure site that keeps attackers at bay.
Unauthorized access to a hospital network could jeopardize the hospital’s day-to-day business, not to mention the health of a patient. The firewall
provides the first line of defense against Internet security attacks of all types.
Compliance Reporting
Reporting is a major part of HIPAA compliance. Fortunately, SonicWALL has a solution on this front as well, with its easy to manage Global
Management System (GMS) software. GMS facilitates the management of multiple VPNs and firewalls from a single location, and also includes
reporting facilities that enables administrators to review the facility’s security infrastructure at a glance. These reporting facilities are also
capable of generating the reports necessary to comply with HIPAA regulations.
