CyPace and ArcSight Partner to Provide Real-Time Monitoring of Patient Information

April 15, 2010 - PRLog -- CyPace, a provider of real time auditing for Patient Health Information (PHI), today announced a partnership with ArcSight, Inc. , a leading global provider of security and compliance management solutions that protect enterprises and government agencies, to provide comprehensive security solutions for enterprise healthcare providers to reduce risk and increase visibility across  their Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) infrastructure.  

CyPace provides deep analysis of Electronic Medical Record Systems, to monitor access to patient health records by hospital personnel.  As a result CyPace is able to provide real time alerting and audit data regarding who is accessing sensitive and/or protected information as it happens. By providing this information to the ArcSight SIEM Platform via Common Event Format (CEF), CyPace enables full activity monitoring via correlation within ArcSight.
“By correlating the access of patient records with activities performed in other HIT systems, CyPace and ArcSight are able to help healthcare providers increase patient data security,” commented Jeff Scheel, senior vice president of business development at ArcSight.  “Our partnership with CyPace provides the capability to understand when personnel are acting in an unauthorized manner and violating policies. As a result, healthcare providers can more easily comply with HIPAA and other regulations with less effort and cost."

Jeremy Murtishaw, CEO of CyPace added, “The partnership with ArcSight offers enterprise healthcare providers a comprehensive security solution to address the complex protection and reporting requirements for patient privacy.  As organizations move to electronic medical record systems, risk of breach increases and the need for this solution becomes critical. This solution helps our joint customers reduce the time, cost, and effort of HIPAA compliance.”
