Australians\u2019 sensitive health information will be protected to the same high cyber security standards required by Government agencies even when stored in private clouds, thanks to a new service launched today by Macquarie Cloud Services.<\/p>\n
Macquarie Cloud Services, a division of bet365 live casino games, has developed Macquarie Launch\u2122 Health Cloud<\/strong><\/a> to ensure Australians can benefit from easy and convenient access to Government health services using digital technologies without compromising the security of their private information.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Macquarie Launch\u2122 Health Cloud<\/strong> is a secure private cloud which has been purpose-build for the healthcare sector. Its features include:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Macquarie Launch\u2122 Health Cloud<\/strong> was developed in response to a policy decision by the Department of Human Services (DHS) designed to protect the integrity of people\u2019s data entrusted to the Department. The DHS policy applies to third-party software connecting with the Department to deliver online services, such as electronic claims payments for Medicare.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These cloud environments connecting to the Department\u2019s ICT systems are now mandated to meet the same standards of accreditation of those the Department applies to itself.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a great example of leadership by a Government agency, and of the way organisations with a good understanding of cyber security can drive change beyond their own business,\u201d James Mystakidis, Group Executive, Macquarie Cloud Services, said. \u201cThrough the updated policy, the DHS is demonstrating how it is possible to transform ICT while at the same time elevating cyber security standards.\u201cThis is particularly relevant as there has been a lot of talk about how supply chains can create cyber security risks. This is an example of how the Government can use its supply chains to push secure transformation through an industry,\u201d Mystakidis said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Macquarie\u2019s \u2018built-for-government\u2019 secure cloud was designed from the ground up to meet the most rigorous security requirements. <\/p>\n This same infrastructure will now be available to private health sector providers.<\/p>\n \u201cThis means that Australians will \u2013 for the first time \u2013 be able to be assured their data moving from a health software company\u2019s cloud services into the Medicare system will be protected end-to-end to the same standard,\u201d Mystakidis said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe health system is a case study of an industry delivering an essential service, but which is widely dispersed across private and public organisations of many sizes in many places.<\/p>\n \u201cPrivate data in such situations is only as secure as the weakest link in the chain.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Need more information about Macquarie Launch\u2122 Health Cloud?
