What is HIPAA Compliance?
HIPAA compliance refers to the adherence to the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which mandates safeguards to ensure the privacy and security of electronic protected health information (ePHI). It applies to various organizations, including healthcare providers and business associates, and emphasizes the need for confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI. While HIPAA does not specify technology standards, it outlines general outcomes and goals that organizations must achieve to protect sensitive health information.
How does Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise support HIPAA Compliance?
Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise helps healthcare providers maintain HIPAA compliance by integrating advanced security features such as next-generation firewalls, network micro-segmentation, and encryption. It enables organizations to enforce access control policies, protect ePHI during transmission with strong encryption, and monitor network traffic for potential threats. Additionally, its automated policy orchestration simplifies management and ensures that security measures are consistently applied across the network.
What are the consequences of HIPAA violations?
Organizations that violate HIPAA regulations can face significant consequences, including fines of up to $1.5 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). They may also encounter lawsuits from state attorneys general and suffer reputational damage, which can impact their relationships with patients and business partners. Compliance is crucial not only for avoiding penalties but also for maintaining trust in the healthcare system.
