SIG-TEC CORPORATION AND
HEALTHCAST, INC ANNOUNCE STRONG AUTHENTICATION SINGLE SIGN-ON SOLUTION TO
PATIENT INFORMATION REQUIRING “NO MORE PASSWORDS”
Sig-Tec’s Strong Authentication Security software has
built its reputation on high levels of security, convenience, and ease of use
for every user from the clinician to the administrator. HealthCast's
eXactACCESS™ Single Sign-On platform provide
clinicians with fast and secure access to critical patient information while
meeting HIPAA regulations. Sig-Tec’s middleware
features over thirty of the latest authentication devices and security
technologies with replication across the enterprise to create the most flexible
and reliable source for specific security needs. The result is a proven
solution that allows any organization the ability to mix and match any device
combination to create its own secure access solution. In addition to single
sign-on and proper application logoff, eXactACCESS
offers three approaches to managing shared workstations to improve user
productivity (Roaming Sessions, Multiple-user sessions, and Kiosk mode),
manages password change events, enables navigation within applications, and has
successfully integrated the healthcare industry’s most challenging
applications. The joint solution offers speed, convenience, and flexibility to
improve workflow and strengthen security in complex hospital environments.
“We are excited to combine the
power of our comprehensive security authentication solution with Healthcast’s highly advanced single sign-on for
healthcare.” says Thomas Hoghaug, CEO of Sig-Tec Corporation. “These robust products simplify and
secure user access to both the enterprise’s network and all associated
applications while creating the most advanced strong authentication solution
that supports multiple types of security devices utilizing smart cards, tokens,
biometrics, and proximity cards.”
“HealthCast’s
business is to provide clinicians with quick access to patient information
while supporting the HIPAA initiatives of our healthcare customers,” adds Joan Mehn, CEO of HealthCast Inc. “By
offering Sig-Tec’s identity and authentication
software with our eXactACCESS product; we bring an
unparalleled level of speed, user convenience, and security to the market.”
The combined solution links
directly with existing Directory Services (e.g., Active Directory) as the
central administration environment without extending the schema. Sig-Tec has a full GINA replacement that provides added
security, making credential management for smart cards, tokens, biometrics and
proximity cards in multiple combinations possible while providing true strong
authentication, Two-Factor authentication, or Multi-Factor authentication. The eXactACCESS / Sig-Tec solution
will also integrate seamlessly with Microsoft’s new Vista® operating system
that will be launched in 2007.
