Norton Antivirus could be an effective tool to support HIPAA compliance. Pairing Norton Antivirus with other security measures may create the privacy that covered entities need for protected health information (PHI).
Hackers use malware to access private files, such as PHI. Covered entities can reduce the risk of data theft by protecting all devices and networks with antivirus software. Norton Antivirus blocks malware attacks and helps keep computers virus free. Additionally, the encryption features protect all of the information you send, receive, and store.
HIPAA regulations require covered entities to use anti-malware and antivirus protection.
