FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation's Synapse 7x—its next-generation enterprise imaging platform—has been granted a Risk Management Framework (RMF) and Authority to Operate (ATO) on U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) networks, the company announced.
The ATO was awarded to Fujifilm for its upgraded platform after nearly five years of operating on the firm’s earlier platform, Synapse 5.
“The U.S. government standards for security are extremely high, demonstrating Fujifilm has exceeded the strictest expectations for securing our technology,” said Bill Lacy, senior vice president, medical informatics, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “We are proud to have earned the ATO for our Synapse 7x Enterprise Imaging technology, which is poised to improve data access throughout the military health system.”
Synapse 7x unites data and imaging from radiology, mammography, cardiology, 3D, and other enterprise imaging solutions on server-side, rendering technology that is both hardware independent as well as cloud deployable. With Synapse 7x, organizations within the DoD network can access a PACS platform that extends across the enterprise, an expansion from a radiology specific PACS platforms.
The DoD’s RMF provides a process that integrates security and risk management activities into the system development life cycle. The risk-based approach to security control selection and specification considers effectiveness, efficiency, and constraints due to applicable laws, directives, executive orders, policies, standards, and regulations.
