Informatica Launches Intelligent Data Management Cloud for Healthcare & Life Sciences

Informatica an enterprise cloud data management leader, today announced the Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) for Healthcare and Life Sciences with new cloud-first, cloud-native capabilities designed to build digital-first experiences for connected patient care. IDMC for Healthcare and Life Sciences is the industry's first cloud-neutral, AI-powered, data management platform with the ability to ingest, manage and govern data in a hybrid, multi-cloud environment.

According to McKinsey, cloud capabilities are predicted to generate $100 billion to $170 billion of value in 2030 for healthcare companies*. The major driver of this value lies in enabling them to more effectively innovate, digitize, and realize their strategic objectives. Patients today demand telehealth, connected care and more personalized digital experiences, driving the need for healthcare providers and life sciences companies to invest in a cloud-first approach to digitalization to meet those needs.

IDMC for Healthcare and Life Sciences is an end-to-end integrated data management cloud that enables the entire data lifecycle, including data discovery, ingestion, integration of data and applications, quality improvement, single views and 360 applications, governance, privacy, and data sharing and democratization. Key capabilities of IDMC for Healthcare and Life Sciences include:

Cloud-first, Master Data Management offering a golden record of patient data: Healthcare organizations are prioritizing a single source of truth on their master data for patients, providers or members. IDMC for Healthcare and Life Sciences offers a cloud-first approach to master data management which can unlock significant value for the healthcare and life sciences industry in delivering highly personalized omni-channel experiences for patients and members, optimizing supply chain and inventory to reduce costs and building advanced analytics to drive positive healthcare outcomes for patients.

Out-of-the box healthcare industry-specific accelerators to significantly reduce time to value: IDMC for Healthcare & Life Sciences offers connectivity to MedPro, Salesforce, NPI data, National Patient Account Services, Veeva, Workday, Oracle Fusion HCM Cloud, Orange HRM, Salesforce Health Cloud, UltiPro and also comes with out-of-the-box, healthcare industry-specific extensions that include HL7, HIX (Health Information Exchange), HIPAA, NCPDP (National council for Prescription Drug Programs) that significantly reduce time to value.

Data quality rules designed to improve patient health and comply with regulatory compliance: Managing data quality is critical in the healthcare industry. Electronic healthcare records are not only heavily governed and need to comply with HIPAA regulations, but also affect patient treatment and policies. Informatica's IDMC platform offers data quality rules that validate and standardize contact details for providers, patients and payors, a critical foundation to generating trusted data and insights from that data. Informatica's Data Quality Accelerator for Crisis Response is a set of rules that cleanse, standardize, and validate data, allowing customers to enable data-driven decision making that ultimately improve patient health.

"Informatica's IDMC for Healthcare and Life Sciences can help us turn data into valuable insights by rapidly accelerating how we ingest, analyze and govern data on the cloud," said Amar Gurivireddygari, Chief Data and Analytics Officer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City. "IDMC's out-of-the box healthcare accelerators will greatly reduce the time to value on cloud modernization and move us from day-to-day data management to driving data-led innovation."

IDMC for Healthcare and Life Sciences addresses the unique challenges the industry faces with data siloes and unstructured data. With IDMC, healthcare organizations can now create a central repository of trusted data on a single, end-to-end, cloud-first platform that they can easily access, manage and analyze to make smarter decisions in real-time."

The Manufacturing Sector Experiences More Attacks in the Cloud than Any Other Industry

PR Newswire: | January 19, 2024

Netwrix, a cybersecurity vendor that makes data security easy, today revealed additional findings for the manufacturing sector from its survey of 1,610 IT and security professionals across more than 100 countries. According to the survey, 64% of companies in the manufacturing sector suffered a cyberattack during the preceding 12 months, which is similar to the finding among organizations overall (68%). However, it turned out that the manufacturing sector experiences more cloud infrastructure attacks than any other industry surveyed. Among manufacturing companies that detected an attack, 85% spotted phishing in the cloud compared to only 58% across all verticals; 43% faced user account compromise in the cloud as opposed to 27% among all industries; and 25% dealt with data theft by hackers in the cloud compared to 15% for organizations overall. "The manufacturing sector relies heavily on the cloud to work with their supply chain in real time. This makes their cloud infrastructure a lucrative target for attackers — infiltrating it enables them to move laterally and potentially compromise other linked organizations, as happened to one the world's top meat processing companies. Credential compromise or malware deployed via a phishing email is just the beginning of the attack," says Dirk Schrader, VP of Security Research at Netwrix. "The attack surface in the cloud is always expanding, so it's critical for manufacturing companies to adopt a defense-in-depth approach," adds Ilia Sotnikov, Security Strategist at Netwrix. "First, they must rigorously enforce the principle of least privilege to limit access to sensitive data, which ideally includes just-in-time access to eliminate unnecessary entry points for adversaries. They also need to gain deep visibility into when and how critical data in the cloud is being used so that IT teams can promptly spot potential threats. Finally, they need to be prepared to minimize the damage from incidents by having a comprehensive response strategy that is regularly exercised and updated."

Since 2006, Netwrix solutions have been simplifying the lives of security professionals by enabling them to identify and protect sensitive data to reduce the risk of a breach, and to detect, respond to and recover from attacks, limiting their impact.
