Learn about why a resilient DNS is critical for health care.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div>This week CIRA announced a deployment of our .CA D-Zone Anycast solution with the Peterborough County-City Health Unit. In a way, this deployment is something of a call to action for Canada&#8217;s healthcare community. As we turn to a new set of sensors, devices, probes and databases to manage modern healthcare environments and as the people providing front-line care or executive leadership in healthcare organizations become more connected, it is critical that healthcare CIOs keep pace.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Digital services and electronic record keeping represent an important opportunity for Canada&#8217;s healthcare system.\u00a0As more information and data is transferred and stored online, healthcare organizations need solutions with the security and reliability to keep their operations current&#8221;, said David Chiswell, VP of product development at CIRA.<\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>We have evidence that when it comes to DNS infrastructure, healthcare organizations in Canada have room to improve. \u00a0CIRA&#8217;s DNS experts evaluated 300 hospitals and healthcare institutions and found that 91% of those studied are not taking the necessary steps to protect their DNS from outages caused by either a network failure or DNS DDoS attacks.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>A resilient DNS infrastructure is an important piece of IT defense and risk mitigation, but traditionally it has not been a priority for IT pros.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.4375\">Whether the authoritative DNS is targeted directly in a DDoS attack or, more commonly, DNS network resources are overwhelmed in an attack against the application layer, the end result is the same: nothing works. CIO&#8217;s of Canada&#8217;s healthcare organizations can&#8217;t ignore the risk to their DNS.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>With the largest Canadian footprint of any global DNS provider, our .CA D-Zone Anycast solution is a strong fit for institutions serving Canadian Internet users. Improved performance for Canadian users and improved protection from global attacks can help protect patient data and keep operations running smoothly.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>With that in mind, is your organziation&#8217;s DNS where it needs to be?
