What is HIPAA Compliance?
HIPAA compliance refers to the adherence to the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which mandates safeguards to ensure the privacy and security of electronic protected health information (ePHI). It applies to a wide range of organizations, including healthcare providers and business associates, and focuses on general outcomes like ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI rather than specific technology standards.
How does Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise support HIPAA Compliance?
Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise helps healthcare providers maintain HIPAA compliance by integrating advanced security features such as next-generation firewalls, network micro-segmentation, and encryption. It enables organizations to enforce access controls, protect ePHI through encryption during transmission, and manage security policies effectively, thereby reducing the effort required to comply with HIPAA regulations.
What are the consequences of HIPAA violations?
Non-compliance with HIPAA can lead to significant consequences, including fines of up to $1.5 million imposed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, potential lawsuits from state attorneys general, and damage to the reputation of healthcare institutions and their partners. These repercussions highlight the importance of maintaining compliance to protect both patient information and organizational integrity.
