BIO-key International announced that longstanding customer Paulding County Hospital is deploying BIO-key’s PortalGuard Identity-as-a-Service cloud platform to leverage its existing investment in BIO-key’s biometric authentication solution as it migrates to Epic Hyperdrive. The new browser-based Epic Hyperdrive electronic health records system is replacing Epic’s legacy Hyperspace application. “Implementing PortalGuard SAML SSO with their mission-critical application Epic Hyperdrive allows PCH to streamline their workflows, reduce administrative burdens, and ensure secure access to patient information with IBB,” said Mark Cochran, President of BIO-key – PortalGuard. “Where security and efficiency are paramount, healthcare organizations face the challenge of providing convenient and reliable access to necessary systems while ensuring data privacy and regulatory compliance. Our IBB solution is revolutionizing biometric authentication in healthcare, providing organizations with flexible, secure, and cost-effective access management solutions by reducing or eliminating reliance on expensive tokens or card-based systems while also maintaining the highest levels of security.”
