smayowa@vmware.com

Much has been said about the way COVID-19, the biggest global health crisis in a century, has changed business. Not surprisingly, the change in healthcare itself has been profound. 

Telehealth visits <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/healthcare-systems-and-services/our-insights/telehealth-a-quarter-trillion-dollar-post-covid-19-reality" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">have skyrocketed</a> globally since the pandemic began, and patients now want providers to offer more "digital front doors” to monitor their health.

As the most populated region in the world, Asia Pacific is witnessing first-hand this incredible growth in trust and optimism for digital healthcare. <a href="https://news.vmware.com/asean/releases/digital-firstexperiencestopavethewaytothefutureofconnectedhealthcareinsoutheastasia%22%20/h%20%20HYPERLINK%20%22https://www.vmware.com/asean/company/news/releases/2021/Digital-FirstExperiencestoPavetheWaytotheFutureofConnectedHealthcareinSoutheastAsiaMY.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VMware’s Digital Frontiers 3.0 Healthcare Study</a> showed that in local regions like Southeast Asia, two-thirds (66 percent) of respondents now prefer remote video calls with medical professionals over face-to-face consultations. Because of lockdowns and other restrictions, health providers have finally begun to use digital services to fulfill potential that has been flagged for decades.

“Dr. Google” and Informed Patients

core/heading

At VMworld 2021, I enjoyed listening to Armin de Greiff, Head of IT at University Hospital Essen — Germany’s first “smart hospital” — provide insight into what has been driving the big changes in global healthcare (<a href="https://www.vmware.com/vmworld/en/video-library/search.html#text=%22MCL2667%22&year=2021" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on-demand here</a>).

De Greiff says today’s patients are “informed patients,” arriving at their consultations with opinions on symptoms and treatments based on their own research, often conducted with the help of “Dr. Google.”  

This changes expectations. Medical data used to be gathered by clinicians on pieces of paper. But now the patient comes with their own online research and an expectation it will be factored into their care.  

If today’s digital-first patients are turning to online resources for fast and trusted responses to their health problems, there is an opportunity for healthcare providers.  

Malaysia’s Sunway Medical Centre (SMC) is one provider already leaning into this trend. After establishing the country’s first 24-hour <a href="https://www.sunwaymedical.com/press-release-and-statements/cat-like-autonomous-robots-start-work-in-sunway-medical-centre" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Telemedicine</a> Command Centre, patients can now access professional care at all times from the comfort of their homes.

SMC has been on a journey to integrate its IT systems so patients can easily and securely access their own records. Most importantly, it’s ensured patient privacy is kept front and center. 

Medical facilities that want to access patient information must seek the patient’s approval first, giving patients the power to choose what information is shared or withheld. 

Technology also helped healthcare providers in our region manage the heavy demand for health services during COVID-19. With many patients unable to visit hospitals, Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care (RSDH) introduced <a href="https://www.thesundaily.my/business/ramsay-sime-darby-health-care-introduces-digital-healthcare-app-HY2573229" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Telehealth Plus</a> in Malaysia to enable follow-up consultations via video. Patients, who have already had an in-person consultation, could access timely advice through a laptop or mobile device from a variety of health specialists.

The pandemic has also accelerated the adoption of digital tools in delivering public healthcare. For example, Singapore’s technology agency for public healthcare, <a href="https://news.vmware.com/asean/releases/singapore_leads_in_delivering_superior_digital_government_services_and_establishing_trust_with_citizens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS)</a>, developed new care models during the pandemic by leveraging technology as a “workforce multiplier.” New methods of doctor-patient consultations through digital channels were developed, empowering patients to be actively involved in their healthcare.

With 49 percent of Singaporean respondents in the Frontiers 3.0 study stating the government now delivers better digital experiences, including public healthcare, Singapore has made digitali<s>s</s>zation a core agenda in its pursuit of becoming a Smart Nation.

Healthcare providers that can deliver accessible, trusted and secure care are well positioned to meet the expectations of today’s digital-first patients.

core/pullquote

“Super Diagnostics” and Data-Powered Health Services

The explosion of available patient data has also created an opportunity to deliver more data-driven healthcare.  

Modern hybrid-cloud systems can consolidate patient data held across departments like laboratories, pathology, and genomics which have traditionally been data silos. The multi-cloud approach enables intelligent apps to analyze patient data for “super-diagnostics” and support decisions around the potential effectiveness of therapeutic treatments for cancer and other diseases. 

Increasingly, this is what patients want. According to the Frontiers 3.0 study, more than half (55 percent) of patients in Southeast Asia are comfortable and excited with receiving a diagnosis from a powerful computer — one that can learn to detect anomalies such as cancerous cells, for example — rather than seeing a human doctor. 

Healthcare providers that enable wearables and sensors as an avenue for secure data sharing can provide real-time monitoring, professional advice and more patient freedom — true patient-first care. It is clear patients want this option right now. The Frontiers 3.0 Study found 61 percent of respondents believed digital healthcare services, like sensors and real-time data monitoring wearables, would provide more freedom to patients with chronic and long-term illnesses.  

In Asia-Pacific, healthcare providers are moving fast on this trend. <a href="https://polyclinic.singhealth.com.sg/ptec-shp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SingHealth Polyclinics</a> has installed a Primary Tech-Enhanced Care (PTEC) program to support self-management of conditions through digital services like vital signs monitoring (VSM), chatbot support, Bluetooth enabled blood-pressure devices and more.

Security, Safety and Trust

But if we are going to keep growing patients’ trust in technology-augmented healthcare, then the security of patient information will have to be central to telehealth experiences. 

Despite our region’s embrace of digital healthcare, trust remains a key issue. For example, while the <a href="https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/company/vmware-healthcare-infographic-my-05.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Frontiers 3.0 Study</a> revealed Malaysian respondents increasingly preferred digitized healthcare services, only 28 percent said they trusted the healthcare industry to keep their data secure. Across Southeast Asia, only 31 percent of respondents said they thought their data is safe with healthcare providers.

More remote healthcare workers and a boost in telehealth services increase the number of points at which services could potentially be attacked. The humanitarian nature of healthcare no longer rules it out as a target. In Australia, for example, the healthcare sector had the <a href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/anz/australia-report-shows-most-data-breaches-first-half-2021-occurred-healthcare-organisations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">highest number</a> of data breaches of any industry in the first six months of 2021.

To maintain security, healthcare providers need to better protect cloud access for a distributed workforce. This is most effectively done through software-defined networks and <a href="https://www.vmware.com/vmworld/en/video-library/search.html#text=%22EDG1965%22&year=2021" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Secure Access Service Edge</a> (SASE) models that move data to the cloud and between edge points more securely. Controlling access through constant verification and Zero Trust security models is another way we are helping providers build trust with their patient base. These are the types of features needed if we are to create accessible, trusted, virtual healthcare experiences.

For a healthcare provider, building a robust digital foundation requires transformation investments, but it’s clear to me that technology should be an enabler of care, not a barrier. Whether it’s giving patients secure and easy access to the services they need at a time they want or empowering doctors to work from a remote location, technology can improve the way we deliver care — and is becoming increasingly expected from patients.

As <a href="https://blogs.vmware.com/industry-solutions/2021/10/22/next-in-digital-medicine-moderna/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stéphane Bancel, CEO, Moderna</a>, one of the first drugmakers to produce a COVID-19 vaccine, says, “The biggest revolution we’re going to see in healthcare in the next five to 10 years is a massive increase in the quality of care because we have data, and the ability to act upon data.”

“Smart health services” are leveraging emerging technologies and multi-cloud to deliver data-driven digital healthcare to today’s patients.

Digital Healthcare Is Growing in Trust & Optimism | VMware

The revolution sweeping through financial services has brought new purely digital players to the market and is driving massive change through traditional banks and other financial institutions. Across the globe, customers’ digital experience is reshaping traditional banking services and relationships, and the Asia Pacific region is leading this transformation.

Partly in response to a pandemic that closed bank branches worldwide, customers are demanding almost every service to be available digitally, and in most cases, via a mobile app. Every bank is becoming a digital bank. Markets that have had a large unbanked population have, over the last few years, leapfrogged directly into mobile banking, bypassing traditional banking.

According to <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/financial-services/our-insights/future-of-asia-the-future-of-financial-services">McKinsey’s 2021 Personal Finance Survey</a>, the share of consumers in Asia actively using digital banking has jumped to 88% this year, compared to 65% four years ago. More than 60% of Asian consumers are now open to switching to a digitally-focused “direct” bank, McKinsey reports.

And financial services companies are raising their digital game. In VMware’s own <a href="https://www.vmware.com/asean/company/news/releases/2021/Gearing_Up_for_Growth_Go_Digital_First.html">Digital Frontiers 3.0 study</a>, more than half of respondents said financial services groups in Southeast Asia had improved digital services compared to before the pandemic.

The big digital shift has helped open the door for fintech players like <a href="https://www.antgroup.com/en">Ant Group</a> in China, <a href="https://www.bankbazaar.com/">BankBazaar</a> in India and <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/">Afterpay</a> in Australia to enter the market. It’s a market where the big digital names like PayPal, Stripe and India’s Paytm have already carved out substantial businesses. Along with China’s AliPay and WeChat Pay, which have been acknowledged as global leaders in fintech scale and innovation for some time.

To keep up with the disruption, traditional banks are innovating at a rapid pace and expanding their scope beyond traditional finance and are beginning to offer services that look more like those of pure fintechs. In Singapore, DBS’ PayLah app offers anything from simple payments to food orders and purchasing of public transport fares, while Thailand’s Kbank has teamed up with Grab for its own e-wallet service offering payments and loans. Services like PayNow in Singapore and the New Payments Platform in Australia allow customers of multiple banks to make payments to each other using only mobile phone numbers. Chinese giant Ping An, which started life as a conventional insurer, has become a technological powerhouse offering services across areas as diverse as healthcare, auto services and real estate. In India, HDFC Bank offers AI-powered 10-second car loan approvals.

Customer-Driven Transformation

One of the major drivers of the success of the new fintech players is their superior customer experience and ease of use. Traditional banks are innovating faster than ever to improve customer experience.

At VMworld, several leading financial institutions shared how they are transforming to become digital-led banks. Customer experience is key, powered by a move away from legacy infrastructure to agile, cloud-based platforms to keep up with what customers want.

In my discussions with banking technology leaders, there were some key common themes among their transformation strategies that stood out:

Eyeing the democratization of finance and greater competition, regulators around the Asia Pacific region seem keen to encourage the growth of new digital financial services. In this environment, some banks are even planning to shift their core banking systems into the cloud—something that would have seemed unlikely not that long ago. More regulatory leeway is also increasing the speed of change, which is adding to the pressure on all players to keep up.

And all this is happening in an environment of greatly increased competition. As well as the new breed of fintechs, companies from other industries, such as telco, are also beginning to offer financial services to their large existing customer bases.

“We are a tech company with a banking license,” is something we now hear all the time as traditional banks embrace tech and forge partnerships to compete in this new marketplace.

We are witnessing some of the biggest changes in financial technology since banks first computerized in the middle of last century and are heading into an exciting and customer-driven new era.

Digital banking trends are reshaping traditional banking services and relationships. The Asia-Pacific region is leading this transformation.

Atos and VMware Join Forces to Help Organizations and Industries Derive Value from Data More Easily

Palo Alto, Calif., April 27, 2022 - VMware Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced that the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has added the Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) for VMware NSX® to the Department of Defense (DoD) Cyber Exchange.

The updated DISA STIG outlines the installation requirements, security policies and controls for deploying <a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/nsx">VMware NSX</a> within the Department of Defense and other federal agencies. The STIG will also help provide a vetted, more secure baseline for non-DoD entities to measure their security posture.

“Across the public sector, agencies are navigating accelerated innovation alongside the journey to Zero Trust security,” said Jennifer Chronis, vice president, public sector, VMware. “As the threat landscape evolves, the release of DISA's STIG for VMware NSX will empower agencies to leverage VMware's advanced network virtualization and security platform to better protect and manage their multi-cloud environments. With VMware NSX, we are helping customers modernize their cloud networks to deliver apps faster while also protecting against today’s threats.”

The STIG requirements confirm VMware NSX implementation is consistent with DoD cybersecurity policies, standards, architectures, security controls and validation procedures, when applicable NIST SP 800-53 cybersecurity controls are applied to all systems and architectures. The DISA STIG for VMware NSX provides guidance on configuring various components of an NSX environment, including the NSX Manager, Gateway Router, Distributed Firewall, and Gateway Firewall.

The latest version of NSX joins VMware vSphere and VMware vSAN for which DISA has previously released STIGs. To view the official STIG, visit the DoD Cyber Exchange Public <a href="https://public.cyber.mil/stigs/downloads/">website </a>and view the STIG <a></a><a href="https://public.cyber.mil/announcement/disa-releases-the-vmware-nsx-t-data-center-security-technical-implementation-guide/">release</a> memo for VMware NSX.

Nurturing strong community relationships has always been important to police services, for connecting and engaging with local citizens.

In its mission to foster a stronger relationship and increase public trust in its officers and support services, one Canadian police organization is using digital transformation to build community bridges.

Driving Transparent Policing Through New Digital Initiatives 

Peel Regional Police (PRP) is the third largest law municipal police organization in Canada, serving the 1.5 million citizens living in the two largest cities west of Toronto.

Recently, PRP transformed how it delivers public service, creating a more open and trusting relationship with local neighborhoods by using digital technologies to enhance public safety. 

“We wanted to demonstrate that our police officers are accountable and transparent to the community,” shared Anthony Odoardi, Deputy Chief of Innovation and Technology for Peel Regional Police.

One of PRP’s first initiatives has been equipping officers with body-worn cameras, supported by a digital evidence management system. But its successful implementation has involved more than just making sure the cameras work. Many members of the community were unsure whether to trust bodycams initially, so the project needed to drive cultural change.

“It’s not simply a matter of strapping a camera to someone’s chest and sending them out on patrol. Body-worn cameras are a sensitive subject—for officers and the community,” Odoardi said. “The project has required us to engage with stakeholders, and to do so authentically, to communicate bodycam technology’s positive impact.”

Turning the Tide on Public Perception of Police Technology

To nurture community trust, PRP had to be clear about how the footage its officers captured would be used, managed and stored, in addition to listening to public concerns about consent and data security.

“People wanted to know how we were going to use the images, where they were going to be stored, and if the cameras were always going to be on,” Odoardi explained. “They didn’t feel comfortable with cameras being used in a school setting or place of faith, for example.”

PRP took this feedback and used it to shape its digital transformation efforts: “By hearing people’s voices, we could show that we wanted to use technology to better serve them,” Odoardi said. “We’ve gone from a situation where the community was against us spending more than CND 10 million on body-worn cameras to an 80 percent approval rating.”

Peel Regional Police also influenced public opinion by demonstrating that bodycam footage would be used to enhance officer training, so PRP could respond to sensitive situations, such as mental health crises, more effectively.

“We’re changing the narrative, using bodycam footage to support scenario-based training and increase our cultural competences,” Odoardi said.

Supporting Frontline Services With a Robust Infrastructure

It wasn’t just community obstacles that PRP needed to overcome in its digital transformation strategy.

For new technology initiatives to work successfully, PRP had to manage the vast volume of data within its wider mobility strategy, including the use of officially issued smartphones to securely connect officers with policing apps.

To put a robust yet flexible infrastructure in place, Peel Regional Police began working with VMware to introduce cloud technologies, using <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGTUBGNxscc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VMware Workspace ONE</a> to unify data management and control access to system information.

Moving to a cloud-based platform was more than a security improvement for PRP. Being able to upload and retrieve data on the move has empowered officers to spend less time writing up incidents and more time focusing on public services. Recording information centrally means that PRP can use this data to connect the public with community support services where needed.

“We need to move out of a crime response model towards a social disorder management model because most of what we do in policing isn’t criminal,” Odoardi said. “That means connecting people with the right resources after the first time we respond to a call, so we don't get called again.”

Becoming Comfortable With the Uncomfortable

It’s been a year of rapid change for Peel Regional Police, but digital transformation has provided more than a new approach to managing workload. It’s changed the way officers handle incidents and strengthened their bond with members of the local community.  

And with the technology infrastructure now in place, PRP is taking its commitment to changing community relationships even further by collaborating with the Ontario Human Rights Committee.

“We are there to support people in their worst times and that means taking a human-centric lens; policing the way we ourselves would want to be treated,” Odoardi explained. “We want to make a healthier community based on safety and wellbeing, and we’ve demonstrated a willingness to be comfortable with the uncomfortable to achieve this.”

A Canadian police organization is digitally transforming to build community bridges and foster innovation within policing.

Innovation Within Policing in Canada | VMware News & Stories

There has been a fundamental restructuring of cybercrime cartels thanks to a booming dark web economy of scale. Powerful cybercriminal groups now operate like multinational corporations and are relied upon by traditional crime syndicates to carry out illegal activities such as extortion and money laundering. Cybercrime cartels are more organized than ever before and enjoy greater protection and resources from the nation-states that view them as national assets.1

With this ground truth serving as the backdrop for the threats facing financial institutions, I interviewed 130 financial security leaders and CISOs from around the world for the fifth edition of the <a href="https://www.vmware.com/learn/security/1414485_REG.html">Modern Bank Heists report.</a> This year’s findings should serve as a warning to the financial sector that attackers are moving from dwell to destruction.
