With a large amount of confidential patient information, protected resources and mission-critical applications for clinical staff which may be a target for compromise, the Mater Hospital required a secure and flexible multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution.
CuraMare faced a significant organisational challenge in locating and securing their sensitive data across their various files and servers. They had no pre-existing systems in place and lacked visibility of where confidential information was being held, posing potential risks to data security and compliance.
Hospitals and NHS Trusts have a legal obligation to comply with stringent data protection laws, so secure access to the IT network is very important. A particular concern for IT departments is ensuring secure access for those employees who need to access the network from home, including both clerical and medical staff.
Due to rising cyber threats, the customer needed to secure access to the servers and laptops by adding Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to the user’s login process. When working remotely, it is essential for employees to login securely to all the applications that they need to do their job.
Since rolling out SecurEnvoy we have been able to significantly reduce our administrative overhead and the overall cost of the solution as well as improving the security of our network.Richard Medina, IT Manager
