BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - July 14, 2009) -
Delfigo Security, the pioneer in
intelligent authentication solutions, today announced the immediate
availability of
DSGateway™, the
industry's only solution that combines strong authentication with advanced
cognitive capabilities. The company's patent-pending Artificial
Intelligence (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, DSGateway 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. Users simply type their password and DSGateway ensures
that the user is granted the appropriate level of access.
Delfigo also announced today that
Children's Hospital Boston
Cardiology Department is implementing DSGateway to ensure secure access to
its Clinical Care System. "With Delfigo's technology integrated into
cardiology's clinical care system we are approaching the typical challenge
of addressing physician productivity with compliance mandates in a manner
different than we were initially approaching it. With the patent-pending
security architecture, we will be able to uniquely identify system and
record level access," said Dr. Steve Colan, Associate Director for Clinical
Operations at Children's Hospital. Dr. Colan added, "The administrator
functions give us the ability to manage system access at the group level in
a configurable way." For more information see today's announcement
entitled, "
Children's Hospital Boston Cardiology Department Selects
Intelligent Authentication from Delfigo Security."
DSGateway is the only true zero-footprint solution that helps organizations
reduce costs while providing unmatched confidence in the identity of each
user. Built from the ground up to meet the complexities and demands of
today's businesses, Delfigo's solution is easily deployed, configured, and
managed. As the industry's only solution that can be integrated as a
web-service or behind the firewall DSGateway is uniquely flexible and
interoperable with existing technologies and back-end systems.
With DSGateway, each organization can configure "tolerance levels" to match
their internal risk mitigation strategies and policies. Delfigo's DSGateway
platform can integrate manual authentication such as One Time Password
(OTPs) and Challenge-Response to enable enhanced authentication where
necessary. Delfigo also offers single sign-on (SSO) capabilities through
partnerships with other solutions providers, making it easy for enterprise
users to quickly and securely access any application in their network.
"We solve the distribution problem. Many industries, including eCommerce,
Financial, and
Healthcare, rely on
authentication solutions to conduct business or serve their key
constituents," said
Ralph Rodriguez, President and CEO of Delfigo Security.
"DSGateway is the only solution in the market today that enables
organizations to ensure safe and secure system access by answering these
three critical questions -- Are you who you say you are? Where will I allow
you to go? And, What will I allow you to do?"
"Biometrics has the transformative potential to supplant existing
inefficient identity practices, such as user IDs and passwords, creating
tremendous process efficiencies and nearly eliminating identity theft and
related fraud," wrote Forrester Research, Inc. in the May 2008 report
Biometrics: State Of The Art And Future Implications.
DSGateway meets the needs of consumers demanding stronger forms of
authentication than a password to protect them against fraud when
conducting online transactions. Conventional strong authentication systems
burden users with the need to carry a device (such as a token or smart
card) which can be lost, shared or stolen. Delfigo Security's intelligent
authentication solution offers transparent security that puts the onus on
the system, not the user, to validate access. Users logging in through
DSGateway encounter a non-intrusive and seamless authentication that
validates the user and provides access to the services they need without
needless inconvenience. Now consumers are confident that their information
is safe and their identity is protected.
