Like other fields, the health care industry is actively transitioning to new technology and IT solutions. More and more organizations are using special software for diagnostics, monitoring the status of patients, storing data, managing financial activities, and synchronizing the work of their subsidiaries. Many medical devices are now directly connected to the Internet, in keeping with the development of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
These conditions are raising the requirements for data protection and fault-tolerant systems to a completely new level: the leak of confidential information, like patients' personal data, or interruptions in a hospital's IT infrastructure can disrupt workflows and threaten the safety of people and their health. For this reason, choosing a reliable system of protection is a primary concern for any organization that works in health care. UserGate can provide reliable protection for computer networks and a wide range of devices and tools used in medical institutions against outside attacks, unauthorized access, viruses, and malicious scripts and applications. Special policies can be applied to devices connected to Wi-Fi.
The platform also allows you to apply a variety of security settings to different user groups (patients, customers, guests, hospital staff, administrators). UserGate's functional capabilities have made it a popular solution in health care. More than a hundred medical facilities are already using the new platform. These include hospitals, perinatal and other specialized centers, and regional health departments.
