FairWarning® Announces New Privacy Breach Detection Software Release
FairWarning® rises to privacy breach detection challenges of world’s largest healthcare organizations
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.– October 14, 2008 – FairWarning, Inc., the world’s leading supplier of cross-platform healthcare privacy breach detection solutions, today announced a new version of its market leading software aimed at serving the needs of sophisticated healthcare organizations.
“The first three priorities of this FairWarning® software release are performance, performance, performance. We are serving increasingly large customers and we have prepared for their privacy breach detection needs. Privacy breach detection is a global market that massive healthcare organizations must address and this release significantly extends our ability to serve the very largest of those organizations”, said Kurt Long, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FairWarning®.
According to Lynn Grieves, MemorialCare® Chief Compliance Officer, “FairWarning has met or exceeded every performance and scalability expectation. MemorialCare® produces millions of auditable transactions every day and FairWarning filters those down so that we can proactively address potential trouble spots. At MemorialCare®, FairWarning® is an important piece of the puzzle in creating a culture of privacy, security and compliance”.
