Cloud Security for the Healthcare Industry
Cloud technology makes it easier for healthcare and life sciences organizations to introduce new and innovative offerings, from improving patient outcomes to new drug research and discovery. However, organizations in this highly regulated space need to balance innovation speed with the need to be continuously secure. These challenges make security and compliance strategic elements in their journey to adopting cloud computing.
Find out how Ermetic prevents breaches to protect your sensitive data and applications. and to help you fully realize the benefits of the public cloud.
Least-Privilege Access to Healthcare Data in the Cloud
The healthcare and life sciences industry is highly regulated, handling some of the most sensitive and personal data about individuals. At the same time, ensuring patient medical confidentiality and compliance with HIPAA is more complex than ever.
Ermetic empowers healthcare and life science organizations to deliver faster, more flexible applications securely while preventing unintended data exposure and access.
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.
Eliminate Excessive Permissions
As you may already know, deploying workloads into the cloud is anything but simple. Cloud services autoscale by nature and tend to change frequently. Securing this highly-dynamic landscape containing thousands of pieces of compute across hundreds of identities and thousands of entitlements can be challenging. The complexity in identity and data access makes it extremely difficult to identify and remove excessive permissions – potentially leaving your organization at risk. At the same time, the speed and agility of development mean that the Privilege Gap is constantly widening.
Ermetic offers full risk context, deep actionable visualization of all identities and entitlements, and advanced analytics to reveal hidden dangers. It empowers teams through prioritization and automatic remediation of risky privileges, misconfigurations and excessive permissions.
An Identity-First Cloud Infrastructure Security Platform
Ermetic automates entitlement management for public cloud applications, and provides a complete picture of the resources in your environment, visualizes entitlements, and automatically surfaces risks.
With Ermetic, continuously identify and analyze excess permissions and automate implementation of least-privilege policies, in accordance with your organizational strategy and best practices.
Maintain Compliance and Access Governance
A cloud environment can be compliant with industry standards and best practices, yet not be secure. Ermetic enables organizations to proactively detect and automatically remediate both compliance and security risks. Security stakeholders can ensure compliance with industry standards, audit and investigate access to evolving threats and generate fully customized reports.
With Ermetic you can proactively secure your cloud infrastructure by:
- Ensuring continuous compliance with industry standards and benchmarks
Carrying out continuous compliance audit including for HIPAA, ISO, NIST, PCI, SOC2, and many more - Generating detailed reports for asset inventory, network configurations and activity audits

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.
