Key Benefits• Enhanced cyber resilience• Significant cost savings• Faster recovery times• Streamlined regulatory compliancerequirements (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR)• Simplified data security andmanagement with a single UI

The healthcare and life sciences (HLS) industry is experiencing adata-driven revolution, with vast amounts of critical patient data,
research findings, and regulatory requirements. Effective data
security and management are paramount to ensuring patient
privacy, advancing medical research, and achieving compliance.
As ransomware attacks rise, healthcare IT (HIT) and life sciences
IT teams are challenged to safeguard their critical data whileremaining compliant with regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR.
Some key challenges faced by HLS industry are:
• Patient Data Explosion: The healthcare industry generates massive
volumes of patient data, including electronic health records (EHRs),
medical images, and genomic data. Managing, securing, and accessing
this data is a significant challenge.
• Research Collaboration: Life sciences organizations require secure andWho We Work With• National and local healthcareproviders• Healthcare payers• Pharmaceutical and biotechnology

efficient data sharing and collaboration across institutions, geographies,and disciplines, all while ensuring data integrity.
• Regulatory Compliance: Stringent regulations, such as HIPAA andGDPR, demand strict adherence to data protection and patient privacy
standards, making data governance and compliance crucial.
• Data Protection: The critical nature of patient data means that any loss
or breach can have dire consequences for individuals and organizations,necessitating robust data protection measures.
