Imprivata, the
healthcare IT security company, has announced the availability of OneSign 7.0
with Imprivata Web SSO to enable fast, secure access to cloud applications from
any device, anywhere. The new Web SSO capability is an integrated component of
Imprivata OneSign 7.0, the newest version of healthcare’s leading
authentication and access management solution. As healthcare organisations
continue to adopt cloud technology, Imprivata enables clinicians and all other
users throughout the healthcare sector to quickly and easily access both
on-premises and cloud applications from any device, including mobile devices,
personal laptops, virtual desktops, and more.
“Healthcare is becoming a hybrid environment. The continuing adoption of cloud
applications in conjunction with on-prem applications and systems is trending
healthcare infrastructures towards a hybrid state. That shift coupled with the
increasingly distributed workforce continues to contribute to the erosion of
the once well-defined IT security perimeter,” said Gus Malezis, CEO at
Imprivata. “To support the adoption of cloud technology without disrupting user
experience or the delivery of patient care, at Imprivata we continue to evolve
our solutions to deliver secure, frictionless access to all applications, regardless
of whether they are on-prem or in the cloud.”
Imprivata Web SSO integrates seamlessly with Imprivata OneSign badge-tap access
to provide near password-less authentication into corporate devices, including
shared workstations. For organisations using Microsoft Windows 10, Imprivata
Web SSO enables increased clinician engagement with cloud applications from the
Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
To improve security, safeguard against unauthorised access to cloud
applications, and support GDPR compliance and cyber security requirements,
Imprivata Web SSO supports seamless multifactor authentication. Organisations
can leverage innovative and convenient authentication options-including push
token notification-to ensure multifactor authentication is transparent to users
and does not disrupt clinical workflows. For prescribers, Imprivata delivers
multifactor authentication options for electronic prescribing, providing a
secure audit trail, while ensuring that all authentication workflows are fast
and familiar.
Daniel Johnston, Mres, RN, Clinical Workflow Lead at Imprivata comments; “The
recent UK Government pledge of £40m investment for systems that address the
barriers to technology in the NHS highlights that slow login times are the main
frustration of NHS staff. Clinicians can be battling as many as 15 different
systems and some GP practices report as much as 17 minutes to login into their
PCs – the equivalent of almost two appointments. In a recent NHSX survey
clinicians cited slow login times as their second highest tech frustration.
“Imprivata OneSign directly tackles the issues of lengthy and complex logins
and authentication management. The new Imprivata Web SSO empowers clinicians
and caregivers at the point of care by providing fast, one-click access to many
more applications.”
The addition of Imprivata Web SSO into Imprivata OneSign 7.0 adds seamless
cloud access for Imprivata customers, making the Imprivata Digital Identity
portfolio the industry’s most comprehensive and market leading solution for healthcare.
Imprivata continues to define identity and access management with purpose-built
solutions for the healthcare enterprise. With these latest enhancements,
healthcare organisations can rely on a trusted partner as they embrace digital
transformation.
