Healthcare data theft has been rising in both frequency and severity since 2010, with the average cost of a single incident topping 2 million dollars and yearly losses exceeding 6 billion. Highly sought after, patient personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) are tempting targets, as too is health related intellectual property and research.

But, as valuable as this data is to criminals, it is the “lifeblood” of effective patient care and treatment and as such must be:

• Operationalized and deployed for decision support at the point of patient contact
• Shared among doctors, lab technicians, nurses, affiliated physicians, and healthcare professionals
• Accessible across both personal and corporate mobile devices & endpoints
• Available to both remote staff and on-site personnel
• Attributable to enforce authority, identify changes and assign responsibility

All this must be done safely and securely, protecting both patient privacy and ensuring compliance with ever-changing healthcare regulations.

SpiderOak provides secure communication and collaboration solutions designed to meet the exacting security requirements of the medical field. Leveraging both Distributed Ledger and No Knowledge Encryption SpiderOak provides a 100% secure multi-user collaboration environment, enabling confidential communication, interpretation, and sharing of vital healthcare data to drive better decisions and patient outcomes.

Our “Zero-Trust” approach means by default nobody is trusted unless they have been granted an explicit “need to know” to gain access – significantly reducing the risk of insider threat or unintentional exposure. Zero-Trust access policies are used wherever PII and PHI are stored, and across all the device and end-point interfaces protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive health and medical data.
