Apervita Launches Deep Encryption Tech To Stop Payer, Provider Cyber Threats

Apervita, the leading platform for value-based collaboration in healthcare, today announced they are offering Deep Encryption™ to their health plan and provider customers. The new feature introduces an unprecedented level of security to the U.S. healthcare system by encrypting data at the field level. Personal health information is not just protected at the level of a database but down to the components of individual health records that make up the database—records containing information such as insurance claims, medications, test results, and diagnoses. This extends the level of protection beyond what is currently mandated HITRUST and HIPAA requirements. Apervita is the first healthcare company to offer this level of encryption security technology. As the healthcare industry continues to move to electronic forms of data, opportunities for data breaches also increase. In fact, the number of patient records more than doubled in 2019 with 32 million patients compromised. The financial implications of such breaches are enormous, with estimates as high as $429 per breached record, not to mention the life-threatening impact to patient safety that can occur when records are breached
