MSPs know that healthcare IT security is non-negotiable, yet many medical practices struggle with securing remote connections and maintaining compliance. As more healthcare professionals work outside traditional office environments, ensuring the security of patient data and network integrity has become a growing challenge.
The Growing Risks of Unsecured Wi-Fi and Untrusted Networks – The risks associated with untrusted networks are increasing, especially with recent warnings from security agencies highlighting that most off-the-shelf routers contain outdated and insecure firmware. These routers often remain unpatched, making them prime targets for cybercriminals who exploit vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access. For MSPs supporting healthcare organizations, this presents a significant challenge: How do you protect client data when it is being accessed from networks you don’t control?
Why Traditional Endpoint Security Isn’t Enough – Many healthcare organizations rely on endpoint security tools like antivirus software and intrusion detection systems, but these solutions only protect individual devices, not the networks they connect to. A doctor working from home may have the best security software on their laptop, but if their home router is compromised, attackers can still intercept data, manipulate network traffic, or launch man-in-the-middle attacks.
Why VPNs Alone Aren’t Enough – Many healthcare clients mistakenly believe that a VPN is sufficient for securing remote work. While a VPN encrypts data in transit, it does nothing to protect against threats from other devices on the same network or a compromised router. If a threat actor has control over the router itself, they can manipulate data traffic even before it reaches the VPN tunnel.
How Loxada Helps – Loxada’s secure, managed routers provide a trusted, always-updated connection anywhere. Unlike off-the-shelf routers, which often rely on manufacturers for firmware updates (if they happen at all), Loxada replaces all original firmware with its own secure, continuously patched system. This eliminates security vulnerabilities introduced by hardware manufacturers and ensures healthcare professionals can connect securely, wherever they are.
Seamless MSP Integration – Loxada is designed to complement existing MSP-managed IT solutions without adding complexity. With centralized management and automatic updates, MSPs can ensure that their healthcare clients’ network security remains robust, without increasing operational overhead.
A fully managed, always-on security solution significantly reduces the risk of compliance violations. Healthcare providers are responsible for protecting PHI, and failing to secure remote connections can result in costly penalties. By deploying Loxada, MSPs can provide clients with an effective, hands-off security solution that meets regulatory requirements.
