The healthcare and life sciences industry has witnessed an enormous surge in data in recent years and is one of the fastest-growing industries worldwide. From digitizing patient health records to the adoption of digital imaging [Electronic Health Records (EHR), and Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS)], health organizations are struggling with data protection and budgetary challenges. The need to accurately protect the increasing volume of patients’ data with complete confidentiality is the most important focus area in this vertical. The healthcare sector has always been under constant pressure to improve patient care at reduced cost. Moreover, ensuring compliance with regulatory needs is of utmost importance in the healthcare industry. In order to meet compliance needs, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 demands that healthcare organizations backup their complete data; if organizations fail to adhere to the compliance requirements, they may have to face heavy penalties. Hence, in order to maintain the security of patients’ data and meet compliance needs, the healthcare and life sciences industry is adopting advanced technologies at a rapid pace. The adoption of DRaaS in this vertical can help in securing data and eliminating infrastructure cost.
