• Healthcare: the market that makes security progress

  How to position its technologies to serve a complex economic sector? This is the challenge for software companies in the face of new demands from the hospital world. Whichever approach is taken, the diversity of requirements and security demands make the production of innovative solutions indispensable. Over the long term, this strategic sector for the community will impose merging of the management of physical and logical access control into the same tools.

  Since 1986, the date of its entry into the healthcare sector, Ilex has been accustomed to constant changes in the domain. Ilex is justified in claiming to know well the expectations of this sector when it comes to the control of access to applications or the implementation of establishment directories. Numerous references confirm it and make Ilex an uncontested leader.

  Most University Hospitals and local Healthcare networks in France use Sign&go daily for authenticating users. The diversity of its technical architectures and wide-reaching compatibility with authentication devices places Sign&go at the heart of establishment’s security mechanisms - Sign&go

  The Saint-Etienne University hospital has guaranteed confidentiality and streamlined access to patient’s medical files thanks to Ilex and Citrix

  Thanks to a unique directory, a strong authentication system and a centralised architecture, the hospital has streamlined its activities whilst guaranteeing operational availability of its applications and ensuring quality of service and the respect of security constraints. The answer lies in the implementation of Sign&go, the strong authentication solution based on the CPS card, combined with Meibo for managing the Citrix XenApp Platinum infrastructure for virtualisation of the agent’s work environment.

  In order to guarantee secure access to patient data and conform with regulatory obligations, in 2003 the Montpellier University Hospital Centre chose Sign&go. Today, other projects with solutions from Ilex are in the process of being deployed. The local healthcare IT network provides a secured Internet access to the internal messaging system as well as access to medical files for the external healthcare professionals thanks to a prior strong authentication. Eventually, the local healthcare IT network solution will be the entry point to all the resources offered by the hospital to external professionals via a personalised Internet portal.
