The leading cause of data breach incidents in healthcare facilities is lost or stolen end-user devices, including laptops and tablets, according to an article on the HIT Consultant website.
The best way to ensure security is by pulling the security perimeter back to the data-center and keeping data off of end user devices.
This is much easier to manage and audit than a traditional distributed device scenario.
In addition to keeping protected health information off of end user devices, a server-based security architecture also offers the ability to log access to information and tighter access limitations.
