Preparing for the Healthcare Security Paradigm Shift

The Security Rule Shift: Why it’s Bigger than Paperwork

Healthcare networks now span data centers, clouds, and edge devices. The Department of Health and Human Services has responded with the first proposed HIPAA Security Rule update in more than a decade. The draft pushes providers to prove real-time visibility, strict segmentation, and rapid threat response – areas where many legacy architectures fall short.

Graphiant keeps you ahead of the curve

Farqad Moshili has two decades building large-scale, distributed systems giving him a rare view into regulatory impact. A Fulbright scholar and a senior engineer behind the $610 million Viptela acquisition, he now drives Graphiant’s stateless, programmable network fabric. His latest HIT Consultant column breaks down what the new rules demand and how engineering teams can respond without tearing up existing infrastructure.

What Graphiant customers need to know

• Segmentation you can prove. Graphiant’s advanced segmentation model creates provable isolation across on-prem, cloud, and edge assets.  

• Real-time insight by design. Built-in flow telemetry feeds SIEM and XDR tools so security teams spot anomalies before auditors do.  

• Compliance at the speed of NaaS. Because Graphiant delivers segmentation as software, changes that once took weeks now deploy in minutes—no forklift upgrades.

Regulations will keep tightening, but network complexity doesn’t have to. Graphiant equips security and networking teams with the precision and agility the new HIPAA draft calls for.
