Commenting on reports that healthcare and IT experts warned the US Congress earlier this month about security concerns surrounding the increasing use of EHRs (electronic health records), Imperva says that media reports and research points to a lack of understanding within healthcare organisations as to why EHRs need protecting.

 According to Rob Rachwald, director of security with the data security specialist, recent research from PricewaterhouseCoopers found that 64 per cent of staff working with EHR data were unaware of whether – or not – their firm had suffered a data breach within the last two years (http://bit.ly/sS0NmX).

 “Perhaps worse, only 58 per cent of healthcare providers and 41 per cent of health insurers reported including appropriate EHR usage as a component of their staff privacy training,” he said.

 London (UK) – 17 November, 2011 – Commenting on research released by Capgemini/MIT showing that two-thirds of global enterprise companies are failing to evolve into digital enterprises, social email provider harmon.ie says that the human element is to blame for this issue.

 According to David Lavenda, Vice President for Marketing and Product Strategy, the Capgemini Consulting/MIT report is quite correct in identifying that people and culture are the biggest barriers to digital transformation.

 “While ineffective IT is also blamed, I think that the term needs to be revised to ‘disruptive IT’, as the problem really stems from the issue that slick marketers have brainwashed senior execs into thinking that the path to digital transformation is a disruptive, revolutionary path, rather than an evolutionary process,” Lavenda said.
