HIPAA Regulation Update: 2025 Security Rule Requires Network Segmentation
Organizations that handle protected health information (PHI) must follow strict HIPAA guidelines to ensure the security and privacy of patient and client data. For the first time in over a decade, HIPAA requirements have been updated.
The HIPAA 2025 Security Rule mandates that all covered entities and business associates implement network segmentation as a core component of their cybersecurity strategy.
What Is Network Segmentation?
Network segmentation involves dividing a network into isolated segments to limit how far an attacker can move laterally after breaching a system. By separating sensitive systems and data from general traffic, organizations can:
Contain threats more effectively
Reduce the impact of a breach
Strengthen overall network security

Our team will work with you to design secure architectures, monitor for threats, and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of patient data.
