HIPAA
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a U.S. federal law designed to protect the privacy and security of Protected Health Information (PHI). It mandates strict access controls, encryption, audit logging, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to safeguard patient data. HIPAA aligns with Zero Trust principles, requiring continuous identity verification, least privilege access, and network segmentation to minimize risks. Organizations must ensure PHI is accessible only to authorized users while monitoring for anomalies and potential threats.
