When securing access to data is about life and death

The Norwegian health care sectors success is dependent on the security and availability of enormous amounts of critical data. The state of affairs is that data does not flow. At Norsk helsenett we have recently started using Kafka to secure this flow.
Our critical data is your critical data, and a matter of life and death. This I how we do that:
- Redundancy to us starts with the number 3, creating the infrastructure and using it to manage "always available" services and data, working towards zero downtime and data loss.
- How do we monitor and support usage of data we cannot look at using the benefits of .Net and SignalR in Blazor together with Kafka.
With 20 years of experience from creating solutions, I have seen a lot. The last 6 years I have worked primarily in healthcare and Fin-Tech. Both domains have similarities and are both seen as complex. By using the right mindset, technology and just being polite, I try to reduce complexity and make things happen. And sometimes great things do happen.
