Imprivata OneSign™ strengthens overall enterprise security by:

• Validating who gets access to corporate networks;

• Easily allowing and enforcing more secure password management practices; and
• Providing a more comprehensive security infrastructure by integrating physical access with IT and data access.

Improving Security and Boosting Productivity

Single Sign On enhances clinical productivity in 2 fundamental ways:

• A Single Log On: Staff no longer have to experience multiple logons and the inevitable frustrations of errors and resets. You will find as the rigmarole of multiple log-ons is removed, the reasons for sharing, between different end-users, the same user session for an application disappear!
• Roaming Desk Top: Allows for applications and records can travel with your professional staff.

“it’s plug and play! It managed our legacy systems and it was easy to use. Ultimately, our end users love it” - Southern Cluster Trust

In addition, Single Sign On improves security in 3 key ways:

• Stronger Password Selection: Many applications do not provide any constraints around password selection, resulting in spouse, children’s or pet names, birthdays and football teams topping the list of passwords of choice. Single Sign On enforces policy restrictions that strengthen passwords by overwriting weaker application based password conventions.
• No Need For Writing Down Passwords: Where strong enforcement of password policy exists without Single Sign On, users feel compelled to write down and readily access paper records of the ID and Password for the multiple applications and systems they access. Single Sign On means only one ID and Password to be remembered.
• Detecting Irregular Behaviour: Single Sign On allows organisations to capture, log and monitor end-user access events in a centralised database, so that unusual activity can be identified.

“By Reducing the password count” Single Sign On, “allows IT to enforce stricter password standards and controls” – NW Hospital

Ensures compliance to meet regulatory and confidentiality requirements, safeguards access, and prevents the misuse of confidential client information.

• Reduces costs and improves user productivity by sharply reducing help desk and password reset calls by up to a factor of 20.
• Empowers end user through self service password reset capabilities.
• Administrators can set password renewal points automatically for end-users, who are simply prompted to answer a set of random or administrator-created questions, and, once authenticated, Single Sign On delivers the service.
