OhioHealth, a 15 hospital group based in Columbus needed a two-factor security solution to protect patient health information and was seeking a replacement to the difficult to use RSA Tokens - and they selected PhoneFactor
PhoneFactor is a phone-based two-factor system that eliminates the need for expensive tokens, card readers and other devices. It works with any phone (land line or mobile). It can be installed, configured and managed in minutes. There is no concern about token expiration or synchronization; no smartcards to renew; nor any drivers or devices to manage.
The estimated cost for OhioHealth to continue their relationship with RSA was more than six figures. Using PhoneFactor, Positive Networks was able to provide OhioHealth similar security services for less than a fourth of the price, providing substantial cost savings. This cost savings only considered hard costs, and didn’t include soft cost benefits of reduced IT management time.
“PhoneFactor eliminates the negative perceptions of traditional two-factor solutions,” said Chris Marshall, SVP of Sales, Positive Networks. “With no token or device to deploy, no additional hardware requirements, and a much lower cost, PhoneFactor makes security affordable and simple for any size enterprise.”
OhioHealth a nationally recognized, not-for-profit healthcare organization is based in Columbus, Ohio and comprised of 15 hospitals, 20 health and surgery centers, home-health providers, medical equipment and health service suppliers with more than 14,000 healthcare professionals.
