Cybercriminals have many opportunities to intercept confidential data either at rest or in transit. However, if your data is encrypted, they won’t be able to make any sense of it even if they succeed in getting their hands on it.

Like any other healthcare provider, dental practices must comply with HIPAA and HITECH legislation, which requires all communications to be encrypted.

Keeping up with the demands of modern technology and changing customer habits is tough. When it comes to IT, many dental practices have been left behind, constrained by the limitations of their in-house technology expertise and tight budgets. However, adopting newer and more efficient technologies streamlines internal processes and improves cost control.

Today, patient care heavily depends on your access to healthcare data, which is why its safety and integrity is paramount to the success of your practice. Unfortunately, just like paper documents, digital data is also subject to physical damage such as hardware failure or accidental loss.
