Imprivata Confirm ID for Remote Access

Remote access and multifactor authentication for healthcare

Imprivata Confirm ID for Remote Access is the secure and convenient two-factor authentication solution purpose-built to meet the critical security and workflow challenges of today’s healthcare enterprise.

Healthcare continues to be victimised by large-scale, high-profile data breaches, and hackers are employing highly targeted, sophisticated, social engineering techniques to gain access to patient records and other sensitive data. 

Imprivata Confirm ID for Remote Access improves security by enabling two-factor authentication for remote network access, cloud applications, Windows servers and desktops, and other critical systems and workflows.

Imprivata Confirm ID also offers convenient authentication methods such as push token notification that can be leveraged across workflows, allowing organisations to add a layer of security that is familiar, fast, and efficient for users.

With Imprivata Confirm ID for Remote Access, healthcare organisations can:

  • Combat phishing and other attacks to improve security and safeguard against unauthorised access to patient records and other sensitive information
  • Make security invisible to users with innovative and convenient authentication methods such as push token notification
  • Streamline reporting and simplify authentication management with a single, centralised identity and authentication platform for all enterprise workflows

Features

Integration with leading VPNs and other remote access gateways

cross-device communications

Imprivata Confirm ID for Remote Access integrates seamlessly with leading VPNs and other remote access gateways to streamline the authentication management process and simplify multifactor authentication for remote access for employees. Gateways from Citrix, Cisco, Microsoft, VMware, and other leading providers are qualified in-house and come with gateway-specific documentation. Imprivata Confirm ID also supports any additional gateways that can connect via RADIUS for authentication.

Integration with Microsoft ADFS to protect cloud applications

cross-device communications

Imprivata Confirm ID for Remote Access integrates with Microsoft ADFS to enforce two-factor authentication when users access cloud applications. This improves security as hospitals move PHI, employee data, financial records, and other sensitive information into the cloud.

Two-factor authentication for Windows servers and desktops

cross-device communications

Imprivata Confirm ID for Remote Access enables two-factor authentication for administrator access to ensure only authorised users can access Windows desktops and servers. This safeguards against attempts by hackers to access these critical systems using credentials obtained through phishing or other cyberattacks.

Fast, convenient push token notification

cross-device communications

Through convenient push token notification, Imprivata Confirm ID for Remote Access enables the enforcement of multifactor authentication for remote access with a workflow that is fast and efficient for users. When accessing a VPN or other gateway, employees enter their username and password as the first factor of authentication. Imprivata Confirm ID will then send a notification to the user’s mobile phone, asking them to verify their identity. The user simply swipes the notification from the lock screen of their device and pushes “Approve,” and the second factor of authentication is complete. Employees are not required to unlock their phone or type a soft OTP token, and they don’t have to carry at hardware token generator (though these methods are supported if necessary).

Alternatively, if users do not have the push token functionality available, Imprivata Confirm ID for Remote Access supports additional authentication methods such as conventional software tokens and SMS. This increases flexibility to meet the requirements of various user authentication workflow scenarios.

Flexible user self-enrollment

cross-device communications

Imprivata Confirm ID for Remote Access allows users to self-enrol their mobile device from any device, anywhere. If users have access to a system with an Imprivata agent, enrolling becomes even easier. An employee simply downloads the Imprivata ID application from the Apple App Store or Google Play and is invited to enrol in the app when using the remote access gateway. This allows organisations to more quickly and efficiently scale the enforcement of multifactor authentication for remote access to the entire enterprise.
