Digital Guardian is pleased the Digital Guardian Data Protection Platform was again rated the highest among threat detection and prevention solutions by Black Book Market Research's annual healthcare client survey.

For the second consecutive year healthcare client survey respondents ranked Digital Guardian's technology the best of 20 solutions when it comes to detecting threats and preventing cyber attacks.

Black Book Market Research annually ranks solutions across the healthcare technology and services industry via a poll that takes into account client satisfaction and loyalty scores.

This year's survey solicited the opinions of 2,464 cybersecurity system users and senior level managers from 680 provider organizations over the course of seven months, from Q3 2017 to Q2 2018.

The survey comes in an age where data breaches cost the healthcare industry roughly $6.2 billion each year according to a recent Ponemon Institute study. A separate Ponemon Institute survey from March showed that 62 percent of healthcare organizations have experienced a breach in the past 12 months and that half of those organizations reportedly experienced data loss as a result.
