Advantech Collaborates with Imprivata to Validate Medical Tablets and PCs for Increased Data Security in Healthcare

Advantech has collaborated with Imprivata to facilitate validation of its medical-grade computing devices utilizing Imprivata OneSign, an end-to-end authentication and access management solution.

FREMONT, CA: Advantech, a leading provider of industrial computing solutions, declared a partnership with Imprivata, a digital identity solutions provider, for establishing interoperability with Imprivata OneSign, the leading healthcare enterprise single sign-on platform.

Nowadays, interconnected devices are increasingly deployed to capture, transmit, aggregate, and analyze data in real-time. However, due to their interconnectivity, each device represents a potential point of exposure for patient information. Necessitating user authentication before accessing any device or patient data can result in workflow bottlenecks. To address this issue, Advantech has collaborated with Imprivata to facilitate validation of its medical-grade computing devices utilizing Imprivata OneSign, an end-to-end authentication and access management solution.

Convenient and Seamless User Authentication

Imprivata OneSign is a comprehensive identity and multi-factor authentication platform that replaces the manual entry of passwords and usernames with the simple tap of a proximity badge or fingerprint scan. This streamlines workflows and simplifies access for increased operational efficiency, providing organizations with enhanced insight into medical professional access and interactions with patient health information (PHI) on medical-grade computing devices, satisfying industry compliance regulations.

Medical-Grade Devices Integrated with Imprivata OneSign

Advantech and Imprivata are partnering to make sure Advantech devices are compatible with the Imprivata OneSign single sign-on (SSO) authentication solution. Imprivata OneSign combines convenience and security by allowing for fast, secure authentication across workflows while creating a secure, auditable chain of trust as users interact with patient records and other sensitive data.

Enhanced Protocols for Superior Data Security

Advantech medical-grade devices validated with Imprivata OneSign allow for tighter security protocols that include locking down network-connected devices and enforcing stronger security regulations- without decreasing overall productivity. Healthcare organizations can improve the security and privacy of PHI, while also assuring convenient data communication across networked devices.
