1. Azure Aids Collaboration Between Health Care Workers While Providing Strong Global Security
MINI-CASE STUDY
“Data security and privacy are a key requirement for applications dealing with health data. Microsoft Azure supports Italian and European privacy rules and is compliant with the most important international security standards.” – Donato de Philippis, AD, Modus Consulting
SITUATION
Health-related applications must comply with strong security requirements: high availability, minimum risk of data loss or corruption and strict privacy rules. But at the same time they must support the sharing of data between doctors and with health staff, possibly in different locations. The combination of the two requirements requires tools and skills that most doctors do not have.
