Computers recovered, patient data still secure, made possible by The CyberAngel®

Houston, TX  April 12, 2010 -  Upon returning to work after a long holiday weekend, an outpatient medical facility in the suburbs of Houston found itself a victim of a break-in and theft.  Several computers containing patient and employee information were found to be missing.  Luckily for the patients, this facility used The CyberAngel® Security Software with Wi-Trac to protect all of their computers.  The CyberAngel’s Real-Time Security technology ensured that the client data was encrypted; preventing any unauthorized access by the thief.  This prevented the company from having to provide a security breach notification to all of their patients, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A couple of weeks later, one of the stolen computers started calling into the security monitoring center at CyberAngel® Security Solutions, Inc., providing details from where it was calling.  The Wi-Trac technology employed by The CyberAngel® provided specific geographical coordinates to assist in the location and recovery effort.  The CyberAngel® Recovery Team worked with the local Law Enforcement, providing them location information to help in the recovery of those computers.  With The CyberAngel®’s unique tracking capabilities allowing it to be tracked even through wireless networks, and through the continued efforts of the local Law Enforcement agencies, the computer calling in was recovered as well as the rest of the computers stolen.  The patient and employee data had never been compromised, thanks to The CyberAngel®.

“We were shocked when we came in that Monday, but felt confident that our patients confidential information was protected and we would be able to get the computers back, based on CyberAngel’s record.” remarked an administrator for the facility.  “Their Recovery Team was professional and efficient, and never gave up hope of recovering those computers.”

Compliance with Data Security and Breach Notification Laws are vital for companies today.  Data protection and asset recovery are becoming vital to help reduce the cost associated with such laws and regulations.  The CyberAngel® maintains a recovery ratio over 75% and offers encryption technologies that far exceed current industry standards.  This software is one tool that everyone can use to fight back.
