Revolutionizing Healthcare IT Resilience: Leading Disaster Recovery and Cybersecurity Advancements HCL Healthcare Client

UMMER KHAN ASIF BANGALORE GHOUSE KHAN serves as the IT Project Lead and Associate General Manager at HCL, where he has been leading Project Resilient Care: Disaster Recovery for Critical Patient Systems since January 2023. With extensive expertise in healthcare IT infrastructure and disaster recovery (DR), he has successfully guided cross-functional teams to ensure uninterrupted access to essential healthcare applications, aligning IT strategies to safeguard patient care. His leadership is pivotal in designing secure, scalable systems for healthcare clients, particularly in the context of mission-critical systems.

A major achievement under UMMER KHAN’s leadership is the implementation of a next-generation disaster recovery framework for a globally recognized academic medical center. This framework ensures 99.99% uptime for critical systems like Electronic Health Records and real-time patient monitoring. By significantly improving the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO), reducing RTO from 4 hours to under 15 minutes and RPO to under 5 minutes, he has dramatically transformed the hospital's operational continuity, providing substantial value in patient safety and operational efficiency.

UMMER KHAN also pioneered the integration of AI-driven, cloud-based disaster recovery solutions, such as real-time failover orchestration, immutable backups, and Zero Trust security frameworks. These solutions automate recovery, proactively detect threats, and reduce downtime while enhancing cybersecurity resilience. He also led the implementation of SIEM monitoring, ransomware protection, and network segmentation, ensuring HIPAA compliance and reducing risks of data breaches. This strategy has helped safeguard over 6,200 staff users and cut disaster recovery infrastructure costs by 40% through cloud automation.
