Staying HIPAA Compliant with Secure Workload: Network Segmentation and Beyond

The HIPAA Security Rule is set to be updated to strengthen cybersecurity defenses in healthcare organizations. The update, which will be finalized on January 6th, 2025, requires healthcare organizations to transition from a reactive approach to a risk-based focus and mandates the implementation of new cybersecurity requirements, including network segmentation, encryption, and multi-factor authentication. Cisco Secure Workload can help organizations stay compliant by delivering zero trust micro-segmentation for application workloads, reducing the attack surface, and preventing lateral movement.
