Lost equipment can mean a nasty data breach headline and huge financial losses
The only data more personal than financial data are medical records.
If a laptop, PC, USB flash drive or PDA is lost, there's a good chance sensitive patient information will be compromised. Even if it isn't—and there is no way of knowing for sure—the penalties are severe. Lawsuits are highly likely if regulations like the United States’ Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) have been violated. And many other countries around the world also have strong regulations protecting personal data and patient privacy.
This means if medical records have not been protected with Check Point data security solutions, unnecessary risks have been taken—huge risks.

How much can be lost if patient data is compromised—in patient and public trust—in civil and criminal penalties?
