A Layered Approach to Laptop Security for Healthcare

Overview The shift towards electronic health records makes laptop management and data breach prevention a growing challenge. The loss of one computer puts patient privacy at risk, and exposes organizations to damaging publicity and HIPAA compliance issues.

This whitepaper discusses IT asset tracking solutions to meet the challenges of laptop theft, mobile data security and simple, accurate management of computer inventory. Learn how a multi-layered strategy combines encryption with the ability to track computers off the local area network (LAN), physically recover stolen laptops and remotely delete sensitive data.
