What is the 2025 HIPAA Security Rule?
Identity-based microsegmentation applies precise least-privilege policies to protect electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) across your network. Implement it rapidly without requiring new hardware or causing network disruptions.

Why Compliance Cannot Wait
- 167 million patient records breached in 2023 highlight the growing urgency for enhanced security.
- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will finalize the updated rule by late 2025, providing limited preparation time.
- Traditional VLAN and ACL technologies cannot effectively enforce security based on user identity or clinical context.



The Business Value of Proactive Compliance
-
Reduce breach impact by up to 45% through immediate containment of lateral threats.
-
Decrease segmentation policy management overhead by 60–80%.
-
Accelerate incident response and remediation via real-time segmentation control.
-
Simplify HIPAA audits with automated, continuous compliance reporting.
