MODERN DIGITAL FORTRESSES REQUIRE SOLID FOUNDATIONS Protecting vital information from accidents and theft is the key to success for any organization. But in some sectors it goes far beyond just good practice. When working in healthcare, the financial industry or government, having robust security also becomes an ironclad legal responsibility. Data theft and even accidental breaches won’t just kill a contract. It can lead to heavy fines, a loss of reputation, and in extreme cases even endanger lives. Because of that, organizations working in those fields spend a lot of time, money and energy bolting on security enhancements to their systems in an effort to try and keep data safe from hackers and snoopers who are always targeting them. But where those efforts end up often depends on where they start. Supplementary security can always be applied, more or less effectively, to any existing system. But there’s a better way to protect critical infrastructure. Smart organizations have learned that automatically securing the most basic component of any system, the storage medium itself, is the best protection to keep vital data from slipping into the wrong hands. That’s why building a digital fortress on top of a FlashArray from Pure Storage is a perfect choice for organizations working in healthcare, government or the financial industry. Robust security and lightning fast performance are built-in, automatic and unbreakable before the system even powers up. © Pure Storage 2014 | 2
