Inland Empire Health Plan is a not-for-profit public health plan serving over 1.5 million members across Riverside and San Bernardino counties through Medi-Cal, Medicare, and Covered California programs. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Rancho Cucamonga, IEHP maintains a network of more than 8,000 providers and holds NCQA accreditation. The organization's scale - millions of protected health records, claims data, and provider transactions flowing through its systems daily - defines the threat surface.
For a cybersecurity team, that means defending infrastructure that processes sensitive healthcare data at volume: member PII, medical records, eligibility systems, and provider communications. Healthcare remains one of the most targeted sectors for ransomware, phishing, and supply-chain attacks. The work spans identity and access management, network security, endpoint protection, and compliance with HIPAA and CMS requirements that govern Medicare and Medicaid programs.
IEHP operates as a mission-driven organization with award-winning workplace culture, but the technical stakes are concrete. The security posture must account for a sprawling provider network, mobile workforce realities, and the regulatory weight of operating in California's public health insurance ecosystem.
