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
