Cloud Security for the Healthcare Industry
In healthcare and life sciences, cloud technology is powering significant innovations in everything from remote healthcare to patient trials. At the same time, the cloud poses new challenges for securing highly sensitive patient data and compliance with regulatory standards. Governing identity and access is an essential pillar of public cloud security. Learn how to protect your cloud-based applications with Ermetic.
Least-Privilege Access to Healthcare Data in the Cloud
The shift to the cloud has advanced healthcare practices both behind the scenes and for patients – from medical innovations like drug discoveries and new treatments, to increased efficiency in hospitals. At the same time, ensuring patient medical confidentiality and compliance with HIPAA is more complex than ever.
Larry Viviano, Director of Information Security, IntelyCareI started looking at Ermetic and saw it offered visibility into access and privileges. Ermetic let me show stakeholders we could take work off their plates. This was the first use case; you guys knocked it out of the park.
The Difficulty of Eliminating Excessive Permissions
According to Gartner, 50% of cloud security failures are the result of inadequate management of identities, access and privileges – and by 2023, that number will climb to 75%. For anyone familiar with IaaS/PaaS environments, the reasons are clear. With thousands of human and machine identities, compute and data resources, and hundreds of different policies, it is extremely difficult to identify and remove excessive permissions. At the same time, the speed and agility of development mean that the Privilege Gap is constantly widening.
An Identity-First Cloud Infrastructure Security Platform
Ermetic automates entitlement management for public cloud applications. It provides a complete picture of the assets in your environment, visualizes entitlements, and surfaces risks. With Ermetic, you can continuously identify and analyze excess permissions, and automate implementation of least-privilege policies, in accordance with your organizational practices.

Hear from Our Customers
Read Case StudiesThis is one of the few platforms I’ve brought into the cloud that has had actionable efforts in under 30 days. From a return on investment perspective, it was one of the best decisions we made.
If I didn’t have Ermetic to manage my cloud security, I probably would need an additional two or three headcount in order to do that manually.
If we didn’t have Ermetic analyzing roles, policies and network configuration, that would easily be an additional three to four analysts. It’s saving us hours and head count.
Ermetic has allowed us to concentrate on our business rather than on concentrate just on the cloud security.
