Children's Hospital Boston Cardiology Department Selects Intelligent Authentication From Delfigo Security

BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - July 14, 2009) - Delfigo Security, the pioneer in intelligent authentication solutions, today announced that the Department of Cardiology at Children's Hospital Boston has selected DSGateway™ to help ensure secure access to its newly developed clinical care system. The department considered several authentication alternatives and selected DSGateway. DSGateway requires no external hardware or software and uses multiple factors including biometrics to validate users accessing the system and enables traceability for HIPAA compliance.

The Department of Cardiology at Children's Hospital is among the first health care customers to select the Delfigo DSGateway solution. Separately today, Delfigo announced the general availability of DSGateway. For more information about DSGateway, read the announcement "Delfigo Security Announces Immediate Availability of Industry's First Intelligent Authentication Platform - DSGateway™."

"Children's Hospital Cardiology is continuously investing in new technologies and capabilities so we can deliver the best patient care," said Dr. James Lock, Chairman of Cardiology for Children's Hospital Boston. "We expect our next-generation clinical care solution will provide considerably improved patient management, and should reduce healthcare costs by consolidating processes and workflows across multiple locations. DSGateway promises to meet our security and compliance needs, while integrating into our current technology."

"In our conversations with some of the nation's leading hospitals, we find they are challenged with balancing their primary focus of providing patient care and services, reducing operational costs, and complying with HIPAA mandates," said Bharat Nair, Vice President of Product Strategy at Delfigo Security. "DSGateway is ideal in a hospital environment as it is a true zero-footprint solution. DSGateway's intelligent authentication validates each user using multiple factors and enables traceability for compliance. We also offer single sign-on (SSO) capabilities through partnerships with other solution providers, making it easy for any physician or staff member to quickly and securely access any application in their healthcare network."

"Biometrics technology has matured to the point where it is now being deployed as a mainstream identity verification technology. CISOs should take a closer look at the applicability of biometrics-based identity verification to their own internal and external identity-centric business processes," wrote Bill Nagel, Security and Risk Management Analyst (EMEA), at Forrester Research in the May 2008 report Biometrics: State Of The Art And Future Implications.

About Delfigo

Delfigo Security is the pioneer in intelligent authentication solutions. The company's patent-pending AI based DSGateway™ security platform is uniquely positioned to answer the question, "Are you who you say you are," when a user accesses a system. Using multiple identity factors including keystroke dynamics, geospatial location and system parameters, Delfigo evaluates each user to assign a Confidence Factor (CF) and transparently provides the appropriate level of system access. Organizations that use DSGateway know their users are not unduly burdened by the system with long validation procedures, false negatives preventing access, or the need to carry additional hardware.

Built on true zero-footprint cloud architecture, DSGateway provides unmatched manageability and ease of installation, lowering total cost of ownership (TCO). Organizations rely on Delfigo Security to reduce fraud, meet compliance demands, or provide tiered access to member services. Delfigo's premier authentication platform validates the user, not the machine. For more information please visit www.delfigosecurity.com or visit our blog at www.delfigosecurity.com/iamblog/.
