104 FEATURE The Center for Internet Security and Topcon Healthcare explain how they are using Microsoft cloud and AI technology to help healthcare providers improve cybersecurity, data integration and clinical decision-making Partner perspectives “Topcon Healthcare believes the future of healthcare is connected, data-driven and AI-enabled. Built on Microsoft Azure, our platform applies advanced AI machine learning (ML) to convert ocular and associated clinical data into secure, cloud-scale insights that support clinical decision-making. Through Harmony, a digital health platform, healthcare organisations can ingest, govern and unify data, deploy AI or ML models and integrate results directly into existing clinical and electronic health record workflows. In large healthsystem screening programmes, this end-to-end capability supports earlier detection of conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, streamlines referral and care coordination, expands access and improves operational efficiency and measurable clinical outcomes.” “Healthcare organisations face rising pressure to strengthen their security and accelerate their cloud adoption with limited resources. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) helps healthcare providers use Microsoft Azure to build secure environments from day one with CIS Hardened Images, virtual machine images pre-hardened to the CIS Benchmarks. They enable IT teams to deploy compliant infrastructure in hours instead of weeks while reducing manual hardening, configuration drift and operational risk. One large US healthcare organisation used CIS Hardened Images to standardise security across hundreds of virtual machines supporting clinical and backend systems, resulting in faster deployments, improved consistency and more time to focus on system availability. This helps clinicians deliver reliable, trusted care.” Mishal Makshood Partner Alliance Manager Microsoft Azure, Center for Internet Security Ali Tafreshi CEO and President Topcon Healthcare Phoho: iStock/nensuria
