Unlock Full Data Visibility to Secure Healthcare Modernization

Healthcare organizations need secure access to data and applications to drive digital transformation while ensuring compliance and patient safety. However, as access points expand, security risks grow. Netskope integrates zero trust and secure access service edge (SASE) to protect sensitive healthcare data—wherever it’s created, accessed, or shared—while enabling efficiency, security, and seamless modernization.

How does Netskope One help healthcare organizations achieve continuous HIPAA and HITECH compliance?

Instead of relying on manual audit checkpoints, Netskope One provides continuous, real-time compliance enforcement. By passing all cloud, web, and private app traffic through the Zero Trust Engine, the platform automatically logs a granular, immutable cloud audit trail (capturing user identity, action, data classification, device, and location). It provides out-of-the-box templates specifically mapped to HIPAA and HITECH standards, taking the guesswork out of audit readiness and breach notification assessments.

Instead of relying on manual audit checkpoints, Netskope One provides continuous, real-time compliance enforcement.

How does the platform prevent PHI data leaks across cloud and SaaS applications?

Clinical teams routinely shift data across collaboration tools, EMR/EHR system components, and cloud apps. Netskope uses unified Data Loss Prevention (DLP)—powered by over 3,000 data identifiers, exact data matching, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for scanned medical documents—to scan data in motion and at rest. It prevents staff from accidentally uploading patient charts or diagnostic reports to unauthorized personal cloud storage, personal emails, or unvetted tools, stopping breaches before they require mandatory public exposure notifications.

How does Netskope protect medical networks against cloud-delivered ransomware?

Modern ransomware rarely strikes from simple email attachments anymore; it is increasingly delivered via trusted cloud apps and encrypted traffic channels that standard firewalls miss. Netskope solves this by decrypting and scanning traffic exactly once at the edge via the NewEdge network. It uses advanced anti-malware engines and machine learning behavior analysis to block zero-day ransomware payloads inline, preventing a single infected remote endpoint or clinic laptop from locking down central hospital data systems.

Can Netskope secure connected medical hardware and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices?

Life-saving medical equipment and lab infrastructure cannot run standard security software agents and are highly vulnerable to network-based attacks. Netskope integrates Device Intelligence directly into the SASE fabric. It uses passive, non-intrusive machine learning to automatically discover, classify, and fingerprint agentless IoMT devices. The platform then dynamically applies zero trust microsegmentation policies, locking devices down so an infected machine can never be used to move laterally into patient records or operational networks.

How does Universal ZTNA improve the remote access experience for doctors and third-party vendors?

Doctors, clinicians, and external medical device vendors require rapid, reliable access to internal hospital applications from home or external clinics. Replacing clunky, high-latency VPNs with Netskope Universal ZTNA grants clinicians lightning-fast, direct-to-application access over the global NewEdge network with single-digit millisecond latency. Instead of dropping users onto the entire network segment, it enforces least-privilege access strictly to the authorized EMR or application—while continuously tracking device risk throughout the active session.
