    Context 

    The rapid digitalisation of healthcare in the last 10 years, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has created enormous opportunities to improve the quality and access/affordability of healthcare in every region of the world. However, alongside that opportunity, there has been a significant increase in risk for healthcare companies.

    At the core of most data-driven health technology is customers’ personally identifiable information. According to ForgeRock, 30% of all data breaches in 2020 were found in the healthcare industry. It is more important than ever for businesses to keep their data secure, especially when they are collecting, storing, or transmitting personally identifiable information like medical records and IBM and Village Capital are passionate about accelerating this transition.
