Safeguarding Patient Data with ZTNA: Modernizing Healthcare Security

Healthcare is more connected. And that’s the problem. 

What’s in the white paper:

• Why healthcare organizations are such a tempting target for threat actors.

• The outdated security tools leaving healthcare vulnerable to breaches, non-compliance, and patient risk.

• How a zero trust security approach helps organizations reduce exposure and limit breach impact.

• Why ZTNA, as part of a SASE solution, is protecting patient data and supporting the access realities of modern healthcare across hybrid work, cloud workloads, remote care, and connected devices.

• The benefits of Cato UZTNA – optimized access for everyone, enhanced user experience, and consistent security.

Summary: 

Healthcare is a high-value target for attackers, yet many organizations still depend on outdated security tools to protect critical assets and patient data.

Firewalls weren’t designed to stop attackers once a perimeter is breached, VPNs grant users more access than they need—and for longer than necessary, and user identities are trusted too easily, across too many systems.

Patient data is often compromised not through sophisticated attacks, but through everyday access that goes unchecked.
