Nonprofit Healthcare Organization with a Global Workforce Simplifies Security and Access to Enterprise Applications with BIO...
September 14 2020 - 8:01AM
BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider
of identity and access management (IAM) solutions powered by
biometrics, today announced that Partners in Health (PIH), a
Boston-based nonprofit health care organization, selected BIO-key's
PortalGuard Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution to
address their ongoing challenges with password resets and to
improve authentication options to secure access to critical
enterprise applications.
PIH provides medical care and support in areas
where the cost of healthcare is prohibitive to the community or
geographic region. PIH considers quality health care as a
universal human right and fights injustice, around the world, by
providing care first to those who need it most.
One of the primary challenges the PIH IT staff
faced was managing password resets for a global userbase often
located in remote areas. Additionally, a portion of the
mobile users did not have access to smartphones, cellular coverage,
or the internet, so a flexible IAM solution was required to offer
options to authenticate users securely. The initial scope of
the project was to provide the userbase with an easy to deploy and
user-friendly self-service password reset solution to improve
access and security to applications. The project scope
expanded to include the deployment of a single sign-on solution for
PIH employees to access Office 365, Zoom, Salesforce, Atlassian,
and several proprietary applications.
"Deploying advanced access management
capabilities to a remote global userbase comes with extraordinary
challenges and requires a well-architected security product,"
stated Mark Cochran, President of PortalGuard. “Inefficient
password management processes create security risks, cause work
stoppages, and can negatively affect the user experience. In
healthcare, access to patient records and being able to process
medical transactions is critical. PortalGuard was the perfect
IAM solution to help PIH quickly and easily manage an international
group of employees with unique needs and lower its operational
costs."
