Resilient Networks for Always-On access to Critical Apps, Services, and Data In healthcare, where timely access to critical information is imperative, DNS ensures seamless connectivity to various systems and services. Medical professionals today need to effortlessly navigate through Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems, collaborative platforms, and communication tools using intuitive domain names. DNS makes this possible, streamlining access and fostering efficiency. SOLIDserver DDI solutions for healthcare ensure that the DNS services keeping doctors, patients, and devices connected to the Internet and the cloud are always accessible. Our high availability solutions guarantee business continuity in the event of infrastructure failure. Our DDI Observability Center simplifies detection and troubleshooting of network anomalies. And to ensure best user experience, our DNS servers incorporate market-leading performance to solve issues around latency, resolution speed and accessibility. Safeguard Sensitive Patient Data to Meet Regulatory Compliance Stringent healthcare regulations are the norm nowadays, designed to protect sensitive patient data. They incorporate security access to information stored in universal Electronic Patient Records (EPR). All entities involved in the patient’s care are required to protect medical data which may include X-Rays, vaccination status, maternity records, and pediatric information. Device proliferation, the increasing network complexity and the increasing processing of patients data for AI and ML processing, are making compliance to regulations like HIPAA, HITECH, HICP, NIST, NIS2, GDPR, and PDPA a daunting challenge for healthcare providers. But with EfficientIP DNS Guardian, you can automatically protect access to patient data by analyzing DNS traffic to detect DNS tunneling or C2C. Healthcare regulations demand robust monitoring of IP address usage to detect unauthorized devices on the network. In this context, our IPAM and DNS Security solution features are a key enabler of compliance, helping you maintain confidentiality and integrity of patient information. Protect Against DNS Attacks and Ransomware with DNS Security Healthcare has always been one of the most targeted industries for cyberattacks like phishing, ransomware, and DDoS. Any downtime costs significant money and endangers public health. Nowadays, hospitals and clinics deliver patient care using telemedicine apps, robotic equipment, and connected machines such as MRI, heart rate monitors, and ventilators. These have significantly increased security risk as they can be used as both an attack target and an attack vector. Any device which becomes infected with malware can be used to exfiltrate patient data, orchestrate ransomware, or rapidly spread infection to all other devices on the network. 85% of malware abuse DNS, so the effect of DNS attacks can be devastating for healthcare systems and hospitals. The EfficientIP DNS Security solution helps protect healthcare devices, users and apps against data theft, ransomware and other damaging attacks such as DDoS which cause downtime of critical apps and services. Our solution offers effective threat prevention using DNS Threat Pulse complemented by automatic detection and remediation using DNS Guardian. It also counters DNS-based data exfiltration attempts in near real time, and feeds other security components such as SIEMs and SOCs with actionable security event information. Medical organizations can benefit from DNS threat intelligence leveraging AI/ML, application access control, and adaptive countermeasures to avoid shut-down of medical apps and keep critical healthcare infrastructure up and running.
