TEPR
Conference, Boston, MA, May 8, 2001—
Ensure Technologies, the award-winning leader in intelligent
digital information security solutions, this week will showcase
its XyLocMD™ wireless security solution designed specifically
to protect against unauthorized access to confidential patient
records and to meet the proposed data security regulations
set forth under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA). Ensure will feature XyLocMD at the TEPR (Towards
an Electronic Patient Record) Conference, Hynes Convention
Center, Boston, MA, May 8-13, 2001, Booth #712.
Ensure's
XyLocMD has also been selected as a finalist for the TEPR
2001 Awards that recognize the industry's outstanding healthcare
solutions providers. The TEPR Awards will be announced on
May 10, 2001 during the TEPR's Opening Ceremony.
"Healthcare
organizations face a myriad of challenges today as they move
toward electronic patient records and HIPAA compliance,"
said George Brostoff, co-founder and president of Ensure Technologies.
"XyLocMD is squarely focused on giving organizations
information security with unprecedented convenience and personalization
for authorized staff. Healthcare professionals using XyLocMD
value the ability to have authorized users automatically logged
into their applications by simply wearing the XyLoc KeyCard.
By allowing doctors and nurses to configure which applications
they want already open when they approach a PC, they can focus
on patients and quality of care rather than security procedures."
XyLocMD,
based on the patented XyLoc wireless security technology,
transparently prevents unauthorized access to confidential
patient data, while at the same time making access to PCs,
network services and medical applications more convenient
for physicians and healthcare staff.
XyLocMD
is a robust and hassle-free security solution that transparently
and conveniently protects PCs and patient data from internal
security breaches. Unlike other security technologies, XyLocMD
takes an innovative approach to user compliance by not requiring
any action on the part of the user. XyLocMD is completely
hands-free: no passwords to enter, no tokens to insert, no
fingerprints to scan. Using its patented wireless technology,
XyLocMD detects who is in front of the workstation based on
their proximity to the PC, whether they are an authorized
user and what access privileges they have. Most importantly,
XyLocMD recognizes when the authorized user walks away from
the PC for any reason and automatically secures the workstation
until they return or another authorized user approaches the
PC.
XyLocMD
features:
- Single
Sign-On & Enhanced Application Integration, a powerful
single sign-on capability conveniently and easily logs authorized
users into their secured applications
- Personalization
Wizard, an easy to use tool that enables users to specify
which applications and custom settings are launched as soon
as they log on to any XyLoc protected PC. Email clients,
calendars, medical record databases and other frequently
used applications can be automatically opened and ready
when authorized users approach their PCs.
- Small
XyLoc KeyCard, a small form factor with extended battery
life and power saving modes. The KeyCard offers an 18-24
month battery life, on/off buttons and a programmable shutoff
timer to conserve battery life when the KeyCard is not in
use.
- RSA
SecureID and Keon® Ready, designating XyLocMD's
compatibility with RSA SecureID authentication and Keon
public key infrastructure (PKI) solutions that enable, manage
and simplify the use of digital certificates in today's
leading applications.
- Entrust-Ready™
Branding, XyLocMD has been granted Entrust-Ready status
to add a layer of protection to the Entrust PKI solution,
helping to prevent unauthorized access to digital certificates
XyLocMD users wear unique badges (XyLoc KeyCards that can
be used in conjunction with their hospital ID badge) that
communicate securely with proximity detection hardware and
sophisticated software residing on each workstation. Because
XyLocMD can positively identify authorized users, it can instantly
log users onto their own medical applications as they approach
different workstations located at nurses' stations, patient
rooms or clinics. Healthcare security administrators can manage
multiple XyLocMD systems across their networks from a central
location using the centralized XyLoc Security Server.
