The hospital’s cyber security team is responsible for protecting tens of thousands of highly-confidential patient records protected by strict, federally mandated regulations. When a large number of users began working remotely because of the pandemic it added an extra layer of complexity to their environment and working manually with multiple consoles added further complexity.
