Secure Authentication for Healthcare

Healthcare Applications: All-in-One Security Key for Digital and Physical Access

The healthcare sector remains a prime target for cyber attacks. In 2025, the USA reported 710 major healthcare data breaches, exposing health data of at least 61.5 million people. Germany’s BSI also recorded 138 incidents, healthcare-related including 43 providers such as hospitals. affecting To safeguard health, patient data and critical infrastructure, the sector must implement strong security measures. It must also follow global regulations, such as HIPAA and JCAHO (USA) or NIS2 and KRITIS (EU and Germany) and MHLW guidelines (Japan).

Challenges in the Healthcare Sector

Fast and Secure Access on Shared Workstations
Tap-and-Go Passwordless Authentication
Clinicians authenticate using a secure card or trusted device. Sessions open quickly and lock automatically when the user leaves, improving workflow efficiency without weakening security.
Secure Emergency Access
Controlled Break-Glass Authentication
Authorized users receive temporary emergency access after strong identity verification. Every action is time-limited, recorded, and available for audit and post-incident review.
Managing Changing Roles and Access Rights
Automated Identity Lifecycle Management
Access rights are assigned according to role and automatically updated or revoked when users change departments, responsibilities, or employment status.
Protecting Medical Devices and Critical Actions
Step-Up Authentication for Critical Systems
Users complete an additional strong authentication step before accessing high-risk information or performing sensitive actions, reducing the risk of misuse, fraud, and unauthorized changes.
