HydrantID Partners with ManagementPlus to Protect Health Data

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (MARCH 2, 2015)

ManagementPlus today announced a partnership with HydrantID to enhance security measures that eye care providers use to protect sensitive communications between doctors and patients. The companies have developed a unique platform to provide every medical practice with its own security rather than sharing a blanket web security service.

“Securing patients’ personal information is a priority for every health care organization,” said Christine Archibald, chief executive officer of ManagementPlus. “ManagementPlus and HydrantID are delivering to eye care professionals and their patients a customized encryption and authentication that keeps electronic health records (EHRs) and communications secure.”

“HydrantID is pleased to support ManagementPlus’ commitment to protecting personal health data with a turnkey security solution,” said Trell Rohovit, chief executive officer of HydrantID. “Our partnership adds an extra layer of protection while making the process easier and more practical for healthcare technology providers like ManagementPlus.”

ManagementPlus’ patient portals are an industry standard for eye care professionals needing to manage appointments, exams, test results, prescriptions and other private data for their patients. Every medical practice has its own challenges and needs that require customizable security. HydrantID’s solution provides ManagementPlus with individual, tailored protection for each unique patient portal. This is superior to the “one size fits all” shared web service typically seen in the healthcare industry. ManagementPlus uses its own secured management console to verify the identity of medical practices and its personnel.

Betfair Selects HydrantID to Provide Digital Identity and Encryption Services for World’s Largest Internet Betting Exchange

“Protecting the identities and accounts of gamblers is a paramount concern for Betfair,” said Trell Rohovit, chief executive officer of HydrantID. “Our goal is to break down the barriers in deploying digital authentication and encryption to help organizations achieve their security objectives.

HydrantID Selects Authentify’s Services to Strengthen Online SSL Certificate Delivery

The importance of validating to whom SSL certificates are issued has never been greater

CHICAGO, IL (OCTOBER 7, 2013)

Authentify, the pioneer in employing telephony and telephones in authentication work flows, today announced that its services have been selected by HydrantID to strengthen the provisioning process for purchasing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates via HydrantID’s customer portal. HydrantID joins a cadre of security conscious organizations who use Authentify.

“Authentify began in the high security space,” said Peter Tapling, president and CEO of Authentify. “Some of the customers who have been with us the longest engage us to provide secure out-of-band delivery mechanisms for digital certificate activation codes. We’re pleased to help HydrantID provide a more secure delivery mechanism.”

SSL Certificates are a mostly invisible yet critical component of e-commerce. A valid SSL certificate helps prove a website is legitimate and contains authenticated information about the certificate holder, including the domain to which the certificate was issued and the name of the Certificate Authority who issued the certificate.

“Authentify has a great reputation in our market segment,” offered Trell Rohovit, CEO of HydrantID. “Our cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings of trusted SSL and managed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) enable our customers to reduce costs and complexity of acquiring trusted SSL certificates. HydrantID eliminates the need for running their own Certificate Authority. Authentify contributes to that value proposition by helping us deliver these services with security best practices without adding the normal associated complexity. Simply put – with Authentify as a partner, HydrantID’s customers can utilize industry-leading authentication services. Authentify helps us deliver the world-class PKI solutions that our customers demand. We designed the HydrantID SSL and managed PKI Web portal services to utilize a specific verified telephone number to deliver activation codes, putting friction in front of fraudsters who attempt to acquire certificates using false access credentials.”

There is also downstream anti-fraud value. “The telephone number can provide a valid red flag when multiple certificates under multiple names or locations are being activated via a single telephone number,” added Tapling.

Authentify delivers its phone-based authentication work flows as a Web service. HydrantID officially rolled out the service, effective September 2013.

About Authentify, Inc.
Authentify, Inc. pioneered the use of telephone-based out-of-band (OOB) authentication services, first introducing the concept to the security space in 2001. Authentify excels at adding strong security with two-factor and multi-factor authentication delivered via easy-to-use, user-centric work flows. Authentify’s services are used globally in online banking, e-commerce, healthcare and corporate security and anywhere a wired property owner must be sure who is on the end of an Internet connection.
