Absolute DDS was selected as an endpoint security and data risk management solution to alleviate the risk of device theft and associated data loss at Sacred Heart Hospital. According to Janet Nelson, Senior Network Administrator, Absolute DDS serves as a meaningful security and compliance tool. 'In the current environment, we use Absolute DDS for its tracking and data protection capabilities. If devices go missing or are stolen from the facility, we are able to initiate a full data wipe remotely. We know which devices contain sensitive data and can prevent any potential exposure of patient data.' With the recent release of the Endpoint Data Discovery feature within Absolute DDS, Sacred Heart is motivated to incorporate a solution that will allow them to extend their data monitoring capabilities to each endpoint, on and off network. This capability will enable Sacred Heart to proactively search for sensitive data that may be at risk beyond the bounds of their existing data monitoring capabilities.
