Healthcare providers investing in the latest health IT platforms are finding that basic security measures are not included, or must be purchased separately, according to an article on the Healthcare IT Security website.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is attempting to address the issue by releasing the second draft of “Systems Security Engineering: Considerations for a Multidisciplinary Approach in the Engineering of Trustworthy Secure System.”
The guide for IT developers stresses integrating security measures into the development process.
The publication helps inventors consider information security needs in all stages of the product, including how to dispose of the system while still protecting data.
