NHS Scotland has signed up Check Point to secure and streamline the management of sensitive health data held in the cloud, and bring the hyperscalability needed to support the rapid roll-out of its Covid-19 apps and services, and incoming vaccine management systems.
With the volume of data it generates having increased tenfold since 2015, NHS Scotland has been on an 18-month journey to move its healthcare data and services into the Microsoft Azure cloud. Securing this data is clearly becoming ever more important and it has become crucial to ensure visibility into the information, who has access to it, where it is being shared, and what is done with it.
