SecureAuth Delivers Identity-based 2-Factor Authentication, SSO and IdM for Healthcare Applications

Patients and practitioners rely on online access to communicate – often saving lives. Insurers count on remote access to communicate with hospitals, laboratories, and clinics. Furthermore, the healthcare industry depends heavily on contractors who connect remotely from all over the world. To keep costs contained, many healthcare organizations are migrating to the cloud which is making Personally Identifiable (PII) and other sensitive information more vulnerable to attack. As a result, the continued expansion of online access to medical information has created even greater security, privacy, and regulatory challenges.

HIPAA and HITECH regulations don’t specifically state that strong authentication is required, but many organizations have deployed authentication to secure access to online information. However, many solutions provide the same level of authentication without consideration for who the user is or the type of information they access. Providing secure online access isn’t an option for the healthcare industry, but implementing the right authentication option to ensure easier, more secure access to online systems for patients, medical staff, and business partners is.

Secure, Simple Access to all Healthcare Applications and Resources

SecureAuth is an Identity Enforcement Platform (IEP) that secures and simplifies access to every cloud, VPN, and web resource from the office, a nurse’s station, or remotely from mobile devices with integrated Authentication, SSO, and IdM Services. SecureAuth provides configurable authentication options that can be easily mapped to the role of the user, the IT applications and resources they access, and the security policies associated with the sensitivity of information accessed.

In addition, SecureAuth’s hybrid architecture makes cloud applications an extremely secure extension of your IT infrastructure without compromising the security of your user identities and access controls! Simply install SecureAuth and you can be integrated into your existing directory to validate user credentials. All user identities and access controls remain securely stored within your on-premise protected enterprise directory such as Active Directory. Once authenticated, based on their role and the type of application being accessed, your end users can securely access on-premise and cloud applications.
