Healthcare Communication
We give your communications systems surgical precision
Whether performing long-distance telemedicine checkups or conducting ER surgery, we understand that reliable, real-time communication lies at the heart of any successful healthcare organization. That’s why we offer products like cloud-based hosted phone systems, call center solutions, and collaboration tools, as well as standard services like PRI/SIP – all of them layered on our high-performance, low-latency fiber network services.
Encrypted Wavelength
Transmit data securely and rapidly using Encrypted Wavelength
For an IT Healthcare professional, maintaining your patients’ data privacy is nearly as fundamental as a doctor maintaining their patient’s vital signs. That’s where our Encrypted Wavelength solution comes into play, adding a powerful layer of security to your patients’ in-flight data without impacting network performance or causing any latency.
Healthcare Data Centers and Cloud Computing
Cloud & Data Center sites that meet the highest standards: your own
Our ultra-modern colocation centers & cloud computing sites afford you powerful tools to help protect your data, move workloads into a data center or scalable cloud and are backed by a team of experts that are there to help when you need them, 24×7. Our data centers undergo rigorous SOC 2, Type 2, PCI and HIPAA audits at least once per year. It’s all part of our master plan to ensure your hospital or healthcare network remains future proof.
Healthcare Security & Ransomware Protection
You take care of our communities,
we’ll take care of your data.
Even though we all know how important healthcare is, unfortunately bad actors don’t have such a kind heart when it comes to who they choose to attack. In fact, it seems the more important you are, the more of a target you become. Threats like ransomware, DDoS attacks and network breaches are on the rise in healthcare. Having the right tools to keep these threats at bay has become a critical issue and that’s where FirstLight can help. We offer a large set of solutions ranging from DDoS protection, malware prevention training, DNS protection, cloud-based disaster recovery, managed security, monitoring and security operations center (SOC) services that help stop attacks before they start or recover and mitigate the issue so that healthcare delivery is not affected.
