Alert Logic provides organizations with the most advanced and cost-effective means to secure their healthcare networks and help them achieve compliance with HIPAA, HITECH and Meaningful Use mandates. As Meaningful Use is driving greater use of electronic health records (EHR) within the healthcare industry and making protected health information (PHI) more easily accessible to medical professionals, it is also creating opportunities for identity theft and medical claim fraud. Medical-related identity theft accounted for 43 percent of all identity thefts reported in the United States in 2013. Healthcare organizations are exposed to a higher risk of breach than other industries for two reasons: (a) PHI is significantly more valuable on the black market than other personally identifiable information such as credit card data, and (b) healthcare security systems are typically lagging other sectors, as evidenced by the FBI 2014 Private Industry Notification (PIN)3.
