Here's why data travel is the next big cybersecurity challenge - and what healthcare organizations can do to keep their data safe.

Data travel is the journey your data takes once it leaves the direct control of your organization.

Each point in this journey represents a possible opportunity for data exposure or mishandling, which makes data travel a serious cybersecurity concern - particularly when it comes to protected health information.

To navigate these complexities of data travel, it's essential for healthcare organizations to first understand the true nature of data movement in the cloud.

Data mapping: To gain a comprehensive view of how data moves within and outside your organization, data mapping is key.

As healthcare continues to embrace cloud services, the challenge of managing and securing data travel becomes greater - and increasingly critical.
