eHealth, mHealth (m for mobile) or Telehealth are all terms used to describe a broad concept within healthcare- ‘mobile and always connected’ healthcare for patient management. However, the sharing and outsourcing of sensitive data increases the concern around privacy and security as well as the integrity of the healthcare data. Therefore, maintaining trust within this industry is critical.
Utilizing a hybrid cloud enables healthcare providers to leverage the capabilities of both private and public cloud services, resulting in a cloud strategy that reduces overall ownership costs, increases scalability and performance, and improves operating efficiency - a necessity where a 24x7 clinical environment is required.
Applications for Trusted Digital End-to-End Processes
Cloud Service Architecture
A hybrid cloud solution embraces eHealth architecture in an agile, seamlessly and secure environment. There is a requirement to ensure that data transfer from and to the Cloud service for all incoming and outgoing connections is encrypted.
Multi-cloud Key Management
Bring-your-own-key concept allows to securely and remotely generate & manage keys across the hybrid cloud and the complete lifecycle, retaining full control over the data, and assuring data security and privacy at any time and at any location.
Post Quantum Crypto Agility (Future Proofs and PQC)
At this time, no quantum computer can run quantum algorithms, however once they are able to, these computers will decimate the security infrastructure of the digital economy. Post-quantum crypto-agility is a necessity for the financial services infrastructure to be able to evolve in the advent of a new generation of attacks and consequently evolving cryptographic standards and algorithms.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
PKI ensures confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and non-repudiation of sensitive information. Encrypting data at rest and in transit guards it against theft or tampering, and guarantees that digital identity provides secure authentication of users and applications to protect against fraud.
Blockchain
The integration of HSMs into a blockchain solution secures the privacy and security that may be lost by distributing proprietary software to an untrusted network of blockchain operators. By storing private keys and data within the HSM, data integrity and user authentication can be dramatically improved. Proprietary code can even be stored and run fully within an HSM to protect intellectual property.
