Don’t Miss a Beat with IGEL & Omnissa
In healthcare, data security is at the pulse of patient trust and quality care. IT and cybersecurity managers strive to safeguard sensitive protected healthcare information (PHI) without slowing down access by the doctors, nurses, and administrative staff. IGEL and Omnissa deliver a seamless, secure solution for the unique needs of healthcare environments.
The Balancing Act: Security vs. Efficiency
Traditional security measures often feel like speed bumps, slowing down workflows and frustrating busy medical staff. The constant threat of evolving and sophisticated ransomware attacks places cybersecurity and resilience top of the CIO and CISOs’ agenda. IGEL and Omnissa help reduce the risk of data breaches while offering quick access and streamlined workflows for users.
IGEL + Omnissa: A Dynamic Duo for Healthcare IT
Together IGEL OS and Omnissa Horizon® provide fast onboarding and secure access to patient data and clinical applications on shared virtual desktops, laptops, thin clients in kiosks or workspace on wheels across the hospital or clinic. The IGEL Agent for Imprivata supports roaming clinical desktops, fast user switching, and smooth workflows with electronic healthcare record (EHR) systems. The IT and medical team can easily manage and access essential apps and data through:
- Lightning-fast access: No more clunky logins. Users enjoy a streamlined experience with Omnissa Horizon’s Blast protocol delivers smooth performance even when network conditions are lagging.
- IT Zen with centralized control: Say adios to patching headaches, disruptive updates, and security gaps. Centralized endpoint management with IGEL and Omnissa simplifies workflows by keeping apps and data secure and up to date at scale.
- Compliance is constant: HIPAA? NHS DSPT? GDPR? Data encryption? IGEL’s Preventative Security Model™ and Omnissa’s session management support compliance.
- Business continuity: in the event of an outage, IGEL OS can clean boot to a backup environment in minutes, even on a compromised device, keeping critical apps online.
A Smarter Way to Secure Healthcare Data
IGEL’s secure enterprise operating system is designed to prevent breaches and outages. At its core, IGEL OS is read-only, enables secure boot, data encryption and ensures no data is stored on the device. At the intersection of hardware, applications, and security, the Preventative Security Model proves trust, isolates, and enables smart login through integration with leading solutions. This supports zero-trust architecture through identity access management and universal endpoint management ensuring only the intended user and device can access sensitive data, reducing the risk of breaches even if credentials slip into the wrong hands.
