With healthcare organizations moving increasingly to electronic means of storing Protected Health Information (PHI), protecting patient data becomes a much more important task for IT organizations. This is a difficult and complex job due to the rapidly growing number of diverse technologies used for processing and storing ePHI. Each Electronic Health Record (EHR) or Electronic Medical Record (EMR) platform has its
own format for recording specific activities, making it difficult for organizations to easily discover malicious behavior and/or specific compliance violations.
And while securing ePHI is challenging, the penalties for failure to do so are becoming increasingly severe. An improperly reported breach can cost an organization tens of thousands of dollars in fines, not to mention the long term ramifications such as loss of patient confidence that directly impact the bottom line.
 We used to collect and manage log data manually, but with LogRhythm we can now automate this
process and have a single view of the entire
infrastructure. This means we can now spot even
the tiniest of events, including those which would have
been missed in the past
