There’s no escaping the fact that cyber criminals are hitting healthcare hard. According to a threat report released last year by security firm Cylance, 34% of ransomware attacks in 2017 targeted healthcare, far more than any other industry. It makes perfect sense. Healthcare organizations are repositories of sensitive personal information including SSNs, DOB, and insurance information. While SSNs alone go for about $15 on the Dark Web, medical records go for at least $60 per record.

Here’s the problem. You have a product that needs to be able to authenticate user credentials before providing a service to the user – such as zero or thin client access to virtual desktops, or a secure printing service, or a hospital patient bedside terminal, or a meds dispensing cabinet – for example. But you don’t want to write an entire authentication, enrollment, password management, multi-device supporting, reporting, auditing, HIPAA regulation meeting infrastructure. And why would you?
