In the healthcare sector, highly sensitive patient data must be permanently available for medical staff at various locations, but also protected in a reliable manner at the same time. Nevertheless, it must be warranted that the data exchange between mobile devices, home offices, practices, health insurances, authorities and laboratories works smoothly and fast. gateprotect security solutions for doctors’ practices, hospitals, and contractors in the healthcare sector, support the secure handling of sensitive patient data.

Through its decentralized structure, the broad range of tasks and the compelling need to maintain security of supply, the energy sector is facing especially complex challenges. From the generation of power; all the way through storage, transport and energy trade; and up to sales and billing, all procedures in a company need to be stable and secure. Likewise, the underlying IT networks are complex and handle large volumes of sensitive data. The next generation UTM firewall appliances from gateprotect provide for all-round protection for different, interconnected networks of supply companies thanks to comprehensive security features.

Similarly, in educational institutions and research laboratories, a great multitude of important data comes together. Personal data, examination documents or research results must be administered in a secure manner. Therein, IT administrators are facing the challenge of integrating remote workstations and computing centers for students in the network. Public workplaces must be protected against viruses, spam and spyware and the use of download platforms, games and social networks should be controlled. Here, IT security solutions from gateprotect can be an efficient contribution to the protection of the institution, whereas investments in IT security remain at a moderate level.
