With the creation of HIPAA, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, healthcare organizations have regulatory requirements that must be adhered to. The primary goal of the law is to make it easier for people to keep health insurance, protect the confidentiality and security of healthcare information and help the healthcare industry control administrative costs. Paramount to that is computer security. Computer security, also known as cybersecurity or IT security, is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and to the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
