HIMSS26 brings together over 25,000 healthcare technology professionals — including CIOs, security architects, integration engineers, and infrastructure teams — making it the largest gathering of your peers tackling the same challenges you face. For IT leaders specifically, it’s a chance to evaluate solutions hands-on (rather than through endless vendor calls), understand how the 2025 HIPAA Security Rule changes will impact your infrastructure, and compare approaches to problems like secure file transfer, system integration, and cybersecurity. With healthcare breaches at record levels and regulatory pressure increasing, the conversations happening at HIMSS26 will shape IT strategy for years to come. If you’re responsible for moving data securely between systems — EHRs, clearinghouses, payers, labs — visit us at Booth 4400-16 to see how organizations are replacing complex legacy MFT platforms with something that actually works the way IT teams need it to.

HIPAA requires that electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) is encrypted both in transit and at rest, with access controls limiting who can send and receive files, and comprehensive audit logs documenting every transfer. The proposed 2025 Security Rule updates add requirements for network segmentation and connection mapping — documenting exactly how ePHI moves between systems. Diplomat MFT Enterprise Edition addresses all of these with automated PGP encryption, role-based access, detailed audit trails, and built-in connection mapping.

Oracle Health environments typically require SFTP or FTPS connections to exchange files with clearinghouses, payers, labs, and business associates. Diplomat MFT connects using these standard protocols and automates the entire workflow — scheduling transfers, applying encryption, handling retries on failure, and logging everything for compliance. No scripting required, and most customers configure their first automated transfer within an hour.

Legacy MFT platforms like MOVEit and GoAnywhere typically run $30,000–$60,000+ annually for enterprise deployments, plus implementation consulting and ongoing maintenance fees. Diplomat MFT Enterprise Edition — with full HIPAA compliance features, unlimited processes, cloud connectors, and AS2 send support — costs $10,999/year with no hidden fees. That’s enterprise-grade capability at a fraction of the price, backed by the highest-rated customer support in the industry.

Focus on three things: total cost of ownership (including implementation time and ongoing support), ease of use for your team, and compliance coverage for your specific requirements. Many organizations switching from MOVEit or GoAnywhere cite complexity and cost as primary drivers. Diplomat MFT is designed for no-code configuration — most teams are operational within a day, not weeks — and our support team consistently earns the highest ratings in independent reviews.

The key is automating encryption so it can’t be skipped or misconfigured. Diplomat MFT applies PGP encryption automatically as part of every transfer workflow, ensuring files are protected before they leave your network. Combined with secure protocols (SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, AS2), IP-based access rules, and multi-factor authentication for the admin console, you maintain control over sensitive data even when it’s moving to external partners.
