Next Generation Tap-and-Go with Hideez Authentication Service
tyle="font-weight: 400;">Doctors and nurses move between patient rooms and back-office areas logging multiple times into multiple workstations. The dynamic environment requires quick and secure authentication, since even extra second or minute matters in healthcare.
Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions tried to address the issue. Still, many services lack SSO integration forcing medical personnel to enter their credentials repeatedly, wasting valuable time. Medical emergencies can urge an employee to leave an unattended workstation without "badging out" properly, leaving a massive security hole behind, and violating HIPAA.
The Next Generation "Tap-and-Go" Solution from Hideez :
Hideez overcomes all of the challenges in one solution. Introducing a wireless security key Hideez Key, healthcare organizations achieve both enhanced security and better experience for medical professionals. This small device replaces smart cards for digital and physical access to the company resources.
The Next Generation "Tap-and-Go" provides quick login and automatic logout on the go. A built-in password vault allows users to enter any system with strong passwords they don't need to know. It works with any system, whether it integrated an SSO or not. It also has built-in phishing protection, which is crucial given the number of attacks on the healthcare industry.
Healthcare professionals can focus on their patients while Hideez takes care of their security.
Benefits of Hideez "Tap-and-Go":
-
Turbo Authentication
Administrator-managed password vault allows employees to sign in within seconds. One press of the button on the key enters a login, a password or a one-time code, unlocks the Windows computer in proximity login, or signs the user in to web services with a passkey. Credentials are stored on the key and are invisible to the end-user. The key is protected by a personal PIN that is entered once a day at the first login to Windows.
-
Precise Proximity Lock
Bluetooth-based mechanism locks a PC automatically once an employee walks away from the computer. No need to worry about exposed ePHI because of an unattended workstation.
-
Built-in 2FA Methods
Custom settings allow to enhance security of particular employees by utilizing one of the available 2FA methods. It can be a PIN code, OTP with automatic input, or passwordless FIDO authentication.
FAQ
How does Hideez Key speed up logins for doctors and nurses?
Hideez Key is a small wireless security key for quick login and automatic logout. One press of its button enters a login, a password or a one-time code, unlocks the Windows workstation in proximity login, or signs in to web services with a passkey. The key is protected by a personal PIN, entered once a day.
What happens if a clinician leaves a workstation unattended?
A Bluetooth-based proximity lock locks the Windows PC automatically once the employee walks away. This helps avoid exposed patient data on an unattended workstation, without relying on the person to log out manually.
Does it work with systems that do not support SSO?
Yes. The built-in password vault works with any system, whether or not it integrates with SSO. Credentials are stored on the token and stay invisible to the end user, who never needs to know the strong passwords.
Which second-factor methods are available for healthcare staff?
Administrators can set a second factor per employee: a PIN code, an OTP with automatic input, or passwordless FIDO authentication. This lets you apply stricter settings to particular roles while keeping login simple for everyone else.
Can Hideez Key replace smart cards in a hospital?
Yes. The key replaces smart cards for both digital and physical access to company resources. It also includes built-in phishing protection. It replaces existing cards rather than reading them.
