Igel and Zscaler Strengthen Security in Healthcare

The companies Igel and Zscaler recently released three security blueprints specifically for the healthcare sector. These solutions aim to enhance security and access to clinical endpoints. By combining Igel's immutable endpoint OS with Zscaler's policy-based access control, a robust security architecture is created that meets the demands of modern healthcare facilities.

A key concern of the new security solutions is the protection of distributed clinics. These facilities often face the challenge of securing their IT infrastructure across multiple locations. The blueprints provide a structured approach to ensure that all endpoints in various clinics are managed uniformly and securely.

Another focus is on remote access for medical professionals. Given the increasing shift of workplaces to home office and the necessity for doctors and nurses to access sensitive patient data from various locations, secure remote access is essential. The solutions from Igel and Zscaler enable this access to be secure without compromising data integrity.

Protection Against Cyber Attacks

The security blueprints also include strategies for isolated recovery environments after cyber attacks. Cyber attacks on healthcare facilities have increased in recent years, highlighting the need to develop effective recovery plans. The solutions from Igel and Zscaler provide clinics with the ability to quickly recover from such incidents and resume operations without major interruptions.

The combination of Igel and Zscaler technologies allows for the creation of a multi-layered security architecture. This architecture not only protects the endpoints but also ensures that access to critical systems and data is strictly controlled. By implementing these security measures, clinics can significantly reduce the risk of data loss and security breaches.

The release of the security blueprints comes at a time when the healthcare sector is increasingly under pressure to improve its IT security. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of healthcare facilities having robust security solutions to protect both patients and staff. Igel and Zscaler are responding to these urgent needs with their new solutions.

The security solutions from Igel and Zscaler are designed to meet the specific requirements of the healthcare sector. They offer not only technical solutions but also strategic approaches to improve the overall security posture in clinics. The collaboration between the two companies could represent a significant step towards a safer digital infrastructure in healthcare.
