Healthcare data is growing exponentially each year. We are seeing more and more NHS Trusts moving from multiple terabytes into petabytes of data.
Several factors are driving this. The amount of patient data and media-rich content being stored is largely increasing. There are also vast improvements in the resolution of medical imaging. As well, there’s the push within the NHS to modernise and digitalise as much as possible.
The NHS’s digital-first approach, based on the What Good Looks Like (WGLL) framework, highlights that all systems should be cyber secure by design with secure and well-tested backups. In today’s hybrid cloud model, data is more likely to be spread across on-premises and cloud-based solutions. This means different technology capabilities and skills are needed to adequately protect data.
On top of all this, cybercriminals are actively targeting backup environments to increase the effectiveness of ransomware attacks. This means a new and more holistic approach to data protection is needed.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Proact Healthcare Solutions offers a number of solutions to help you meet modern data protection requirements. We can take the burden of protecting your most critical patient data, no matter where it is located. Backed by our 24×7 Network and Security Operations Centres, we provide a technology and process air-gap which ensures you have comprehensive protection against system failures and lateral movement of threat actors.
Secure Architectures
Data protection is a defensive, in-depth conversation and starts with the design of the primary platform used to store and process data. Building a secure architecture with technical, identity and process separation can significantly reduce the impact of any attack.
Our expert teams have extensive experience in creating secure by design architectures, drawing experience from some of the most secure sectors in the UK. By combining a secure design with our backup and Disaster Recovery (DR) services, you can minimise the impact of any incident and ensure continued patient care.
