IronPort Solutions for Healthcare Organizations
The healthcare industry is facing unique challenges when it comes to email security. With patient privacy being of the utmost importance, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) places a number of requirements on its information handling practices, with a direct impact on the operation of email messaging systems.
- "We were up and running in a day, end user complaints have dropped significantly, and we've been able to offload a large amount of burden from the internal mail servers."
