At a time when iPads, iPhones, and Android devices are becoming the client devices of choice, the new HIPAA omnibus rule imposes $1.5 million dollar per incident fines for security breaches. CIOs are trying to balance the productivity and usability enhancements of mobile apps with the increased need for controls to address compliance concerns.
