1888 PressRelease - With Vaultara's new image sharing software, medical facilities can enjoy the benefits of image sharing without the risks of the "cloud".

According to a 2014 Benchmark study on Patient Privacy & Data Security, healthcare respondents view the use of cloud services as a "serious threat" and second only to employee negligence. During a recent HealthTech Council meeting, legendary white hat hacker, Ralph Echemendia states how "Medical cybercrime is the next frontier when it comes to healthcare" explaining how cloud storage systems offer new vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.

Besides the security and budgetary challenges, anyone who wanted to benefit from image sharing, was forced to the cloud or to burn CD's.

Image sharing has evolved. With Vaultara's new image sharing software, Healthcare organizations can have the best of both worlds.

The interface was built to allow anyone who is seeing it for the first time to be able to use it, simply.
