Healthcare is not so different from any service industry facing specific and uncompromising customer requirements. Establishing a sustainable effective and efficient IT operation is crucial. The priority concerns for healthcare providers center on ensuring that patient records are always accessible and that they remain completely secure and protected from a ransomware attack.

Data backup and protection together play an essential role in meeting the demanding, often compliance-driven, data security and integrity requirements faced by hospitals, clinics, physicians, insurance companies and anyone involved with the creation, distribution, and storage of patient records.

Acronis has worked closely with healthcare providers to create a state-of-the-art data protection solution tailored to providing end-to-end secure data backup that features encryption of data in the end stations and throughout data transmission between primary systems and backup servers (whether local or remote).

WannaCry Ransomware Attack

Following the recent WannaCry ransomware attack that crippled the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) network and computers, healthcare organizations began to realize that conventional cybersecurity measures are not sufficient for providing proper protection for their critical infrastructure. It’s become clear that all systems within a provider’s IT purview must be proactively protected against advanced malware attacks. Healthcare providers, like any modern (and potentially global) business, started to look for a new solution that would offer complete protection in unforeseen circumstances where valuable data is put at risk.

To help healthcare organizations meet this need, Acronis works with value-added distributors of IT security and information management, such as Interwork, to promote and distribute Acronis Backup 12.5 — the world’s fastest, easiest, and most complete data protection solution available on the market today.

Modern-Day Data Protection

Being in business for more than 20 years, Interwork established itself as a trusted solutions provider, delivering exceptional service, value, and expertise in cyber security to partners and customers in North America. The faster cyber security experts understand the value of a fast backup and have welcomed the new solution that can address the modern-day data protection woes.

With Acronis Backup 12.5, Interwork’s partners can replace legacy backup solutions, helping healthcare organizations to grow, protect, and develop IT infrastructure without compromising the safety of data. The new technology such as Acronis Active Protection^TM and Acronis Notary^TM extends the functionality of backup by automatically defending data against ransomware and certifying important documents through blockchain for future data integrity verification.
