Is your data safe?  Recent reports have highlighted the staggering impact of cybersecurity breaches on healthcare organizations.  Ransomware attacks alone have cost U.S. healthcare providers an average of $1.9 million per day in downtime losses. As the frequency and sophistication of these attacks continue to escalate, it’s imperative for healthcare organizations to implement robust security measures to protect their valuable data.  Even more important, imaging data can be especially useful to thieves due to the amount of sensitive information stored within these files.  

A Growing Threat 

The healthcare sector is an increasingly attractive target for cybercriminals due to the wealth of sensitive patient information it holds. According to a recent study reported by Healthcare IT News, since 2018: 

  • 654 ransomware attacks have targeted healthcare providers 
  • Over 88.7 million patient records were compromised 
  • Healthcare organizations experienced an average of 17 days of downtime per incident 

These statistics underscore the urgent need for advanced cybersecurity solutions tailored to the unique challenges of medical imaging.  After all, most healthcare organizations can hardly sustain the financial repercussions of 17+ days of downtime from a cyberattack.  Add to that the impact to patient care should critical images not be available to physicians. 

InsiteOne: A Comprehensive Approach to Imaging Security 

At InsiteOne, we understand the critical role that imaging data plays in patient care and the devastating consequences of its compromise. Our cloud-native vendor neutral archive (VNA) and picture archival communication system (PACS) solutions provide robust security at their core, offering a multi-layered approach to protecting your valuable imaging assets. 

End-to-End Data Protection 

Our enterprise architecture integrates seamlessly with existing PACS solutions to provide end-to-end security for your imaging data. Keep your existing PACS while using our cloud-based disaster recovery PACS solution to provide a separate air-gapped backup of your imaging data.  We provide a complete web-based viewing solution to provide access to your imaging data should your primary PACS become compromised.  This comprehensive approach ensures that your data is protected at every stage – from acquisition and storage to transmission and access.  Our PACS Guardian solution is priced right to provide protection and peace of mind in case of a disaster.  It’s there when you need it the most at a surprisingly low cost.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity 

In the event of a successful attack, PACS Guardian ensures your imaging data remains accessible and intact, because it is completely separate from your core PACS. Our platform offers: 

  • Redundant data storage across multiple geographic locations 
  • Rapid failover and recovery processes 
  • Web-based viewer
