Background

Healthcare regulations for IT security - such as HIPAA and the new HITECH provisions of HIPAA - are now broader than ever. And they apply not just to healthcare organizations, but to all kinds of companies that handle or store private health information, from Web hosting firms to accountants. Today's penalties for data breaches are increasingly onerous: Fines are bigger, notification requirements are more stringent and enforcement organizations have new incentives for taking action against organizations that fail to protect healthcare privacy.

Learn what to look for in a secure email solution for complying with the web of regulations that now apply to so many companies.

By attending, you'll also learn how automatic, policy-based email encryption can provide effective protection for sensitive health information in email and why it should be a central part of your approach to HIPAA compliance.
