Computer and network security have become increasingly important across all industries. From protecting corporate networks from malware, hackers, and denial of service attacks to securing government networks from cyber espionage and cyber terrorism, modern network administrators and Windows Server security specialists are tasked with an important, ever-evolving challenge. In addition to securing computers, servers, and networks from threats in order to protect data and as a matter of national security, computer and network security must also protect the privacy of employees, customers, legal clients, patients, and others whose personal information is stored within an entity's servers.
For example, health plans, health plan clearinghouses, healthcare providers, business associates, and other covered entities must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act's (HIPAA's) Security Rule and Privacy Rule. These rules are in place to protect patients' "protected health information" (PHI) which is defined as "individually identifiable health information." When a covered entity transmits PHI electronically (such as via fax, email, or file upload), it must do so in compliance with HIPAA. Though the HIPAA Security Rule doesn't necessarily specify which Windows Server security product should be used, it does provide national standards to protect PHI and requires appropriate safeguards to ensure that the security, integrity, and confidentiality of PHI is protected.
