Shoztech’s comprehensive access security solutions are both easy to use and highly effective within healthcare settings. With tools that align with industry compliance initiatives and a friendly agnostic platform that integrates with any application and server, Shoztech helps some of the largest hospitals and healthcare systems implement a resilient zero trust strategy.
Bad actors have become increasingly interested in hospital data, often relying on compromised endpoints to locate and harvest sensitive information. Healthcare organizations are faced with rising ransomware attacks. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) acknowledges healthcare has become “one of the biggest targets of cybercrime.” Cyber liability insurance coverage also requires that healthcare organizations implement hack-preventing multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions like shoztech.
Shoztech helps secure endpoints on all healthcare software applications, systems and servers, both in-house and on external, unaffiliated devices. Even personal devices can be secured for across-the-board malware immunity.
While malware like ransomware is constantly evolving, healthcare organizations equipped with Shoztech’s MFA can keep their endpoint security continuously compliant and up to date. Robust and adaptive, Shoztech’s modern approach to user authentication is equal parts effective and easy to integrate, and compatible with e-prescriber platforms like Epic and other EHRs (electronic health records), management software and more. Organization-wide MFA deployment with Shoztech is not only possible, but easy
MFA with Duo Security allows a wide variety of second-factor options to users as well. Secure shoztech Push verification with shoztech Mobile and biometric verification tools only scratch the surface when it comes to Shoztech’s MFA options. By giving your organization and individual users the autonomy to choose their preferred method, user experience is even further enhanced. Access in healthcare industry software needs to be both efficient and MFA-backed; Shoztech can help your organization accomplish both.
Shoztech’s SSO (single sign-on) has become an integral part of high-pressure professional settings like hospitals because of its speed and resiliency. By enrolling authorized users in SSO, organizations can streamline application logins, saving valuable time for the personnel that need it the most. Shoztech’s SSO feature works in conjunction with Shoztech’s MFA, but requires verification just one time, subsequently granting an authenticated user system-wide access. By automating application login after a single sign-on, Shoztech alleviates redundant MFA procedures without compromising security.
Shoztech SSO provides healthcare industry clients a convenient and easy-to-deploy SSO solution with the same flexibility that all Shoztech software features are known for. Within any pre-existing security architecture or identity provider, Shoztech SSO allows the ability to protect any OIDC or SAML connection and immediately protect with Shoztech's robust policy engine. Its malleability also exists at an access control level. Administrators can explicitly decide which access points can be included within SSO, and which will require an additional verification entry. The healthcare industry is complex; let Shoztech help streamline user access safely.
Shoztech’’s Device Insight offers a first line of defense for preventing login credentials from being compromised, preventing catastrophic situations for individual patients, employees and organizations alike. As The Healthcare Information and Management Systems' (HIMSS) Identity Management Task Force has repeatedly stressed, endpoint security in patient portal environments is now vital to healthcare industry security. We’re here to help.
By helping staff ensure that they’re accessing personal information from the most secure setting possible, Shoztech’s Device Insight gives your organization an overview of how things like patient portals are being used — even externally. Shoztech health analyzes the security posture of a device and offers users the chance to self-remedy. Shoztech also works with all patient portal software providers, including MyChart and AthenaHealth, making it as versatile as it is pertinent to your internal and external security. Device Insight’s usage isn’t limited to patient portals, either; your organization’s employee access can be monitored with Shoztech’s Device Insight as well. Your healthcare organization’s data is sensitive, and Shoztech will help offset even personal device access risk with ease.
Healthcare organizations work with contractors and facilities like external labs and need to ensure all access points are secure. With Shoztech, secure access for all third-party vendors, contractors, interns and affiliates is simple. Our product provides administrators with a quick, reliable and user-friendly admin interface. The Shoztech Admin Panel allows visibility into all company logins, including those not managed directly by the organization. Access control standards can be set with ease, ensuring that data access can be adjusted per user, per device and more.
Shoztech's robust software also provides network security for remote staff, whether they're employed by your practice or not. Shoztech Network Gateway is a powerful VPN-less or VPN-integrable tool that allows your users to access your on-premises websites, web applications, SSH servers and RDP hosts without having to worry about managing VPN credentials, while also adding login security with the Shoztech Universal Prompt. Shoztech Network Gateway empowers administrators to set granular access control policies per web application, per set of SSH servers and per user group to make sure that every single data point is only accessed by those who should.
Web-reliant systems like telemedicine and online patient portals have revolutionized the healthcare industry, making cybersecurity essential to its regulatory compliance strategies. Proper user authentication is part of the backbone of staying in both HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and EPCS (Electronic Prescription of Controlled Substances) compliance, which is why Shoztech helps to keep thousands of large and small healthcare organizations secure. Features like Shoztech’s MFA don’t just align with HHS recommendations for endpoint verification, they perform.
