Data is arguably the most prolific and most valuable of resources. As such, it needs to be protected both as a company asset and in keeping with data privacy laws. Data protection is most acute in healthcare, which is something of a latecomer to fast-evolving heterogeneous electronic environments in the cloud. Indeed, healthcare had to “fast forward” to meet a rush of legislation and new working methodologies. In the blink of an eye, the playing field has changed dramatically. It continues to evolve as medical practitioners bring their own devices into hospitals and surgeries, patients consult with their physicians over Skype and online chat, and Electronic Health Records transit between healthcare Business Associates and government and reimbursement agencies.
