MetaDefender Email Security

Email Security for Healthcare

The healthcare industry communicates sensitive patient information daily. In this industry, protected health records are a popular target for attackers. Implementing advanced email security solutions provides proactive threat protection to keep data confidential and retain compliance with data protection regulations.

OPSWAT's email security solution addresses the unique challenges of healthcare digital communications, including compliance with HIPAA regulations, protection against healthcare-specific cyber threats, and ensuring the integrity of patient data transmitted via email.

Protect Patient Data Privacy

Healthcare organizations often communicate protected health information (PHI) like medical records, test results, and treatment plans through email. Regulations like the (HIPAA) require robust email security to safeguard sensitive health information. Healthcare institutions must also abide by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The modern cybersecurity threat landscape challenges data protection efforts continuously, averaging 1,463 attacks per week. Data breaches can compromise patient information. Phishing and social engineering may also deceive users into revealing sensitive records. With the many threats healthcare faces, a robust security solution protects against exploits, maintaining a positive reputation for organizations.

MetaDefender Email Security Solution for Healthcare

Healthcare organizations can deploy MetaDefender on-premises, as a Microsoft 365 add-on, or in the cloud. All deployments help fulfill compliance standards and deliver best-in-class detection rates and email threat prevention. Our solution protects email communication at every stage to maintain the privacy of PHI.

Close your security gaps and boost protection with MetaDefender Email Security, delivering an multilayered defense, including:
