Control access to a range of medical systems and become compliant with the DEA’s EPCS and other regulations. Our authentication solutions can be used not only to re-authenticate to EHR systems when issuing eRx’s for controlled substances, but also to secure remote access to EHRs for practitioners working off premises.
From medical records to insurance forms to prescription services, the healthcare business is a networked environment – allowing patient information to be shared and managed by a variety of parties and from a number of endpoints, each with their own level of security for protecting that information.
Networking is magnified tenfold by the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) to Healthcare, as the number of connected devices and the tremendous amount of data they collect increases substantially. Numerous IoT applications in healthcare, from remote monitoring to smart sensors and medical device integration, have the potential to not only keep patients safe and healthy, but to improve how physicians deliver care as well. But there is the question of how to keep all of that data secure, especially if it is being exchanged with other devices.
Maintaining the security of patient data is a complex proposition that affects:
- Every employee of a healthcare facility
- Every area of its IT system
- Every participant in the healthcare IoT ecosystem
- All vendors, partners and insurers that work with the healthcare provider
It's no surprise cyber criminals see medical data as particularly valuable as it enables them to illegally obtain medical goods and services or sell the sensitive information. As is the case with the IoT, major security flaws can pose serious threats to the health and safety of patients. For example, criminals can remotely manipulate devices, including those that controlled dosage levels for drug infusion pumps and connected defibrillators.
As a result, it is crucial that organisations implement healthcare data security solutions that will improve patient care while protecting important assets and satisfying healthcare compliance mandates.

Our healthcare data security solutions:
Multi-factor authentication
Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)
SafeNet Luna HSMs, combined with IAM solutions, provide high assurance protection of identities used to grant physical and logical access to users. HSMs also help protect transactions and applications, ensure data integrity, secure the IoT and maintain an audit trail.
Data encryption and key management
Data encryption and key management solutions protect and maintain ownership of data throughout its lifecycle – from the data centre to the endpoint (including mobile devices used by physicians, clinicians and administrators) and into the cloud.
High speed network encryption
High-performance data in motion encryption solutions persistently protect information, ensure control beyond location or boundary, streamline operations, facilitate disaster recovery and reduce compliance costs.
