Imprivata delivers access to applications for VmWare View 4.5 Users
September 2010 by Marc Jacob
Imprivata®, Inc.announced that OneSign 4.5 is fully integrated with the recently released VMware View™ 4.5. The integration provides single sign-on (SSO) and extends strong authentication capabilities to enable secure and convenient end-point application access and user roaming desktops in a VMware View 4.5 environment.
Through this integration, Imprivata and VMware solve the access management challenges that organizations face as workforces become more mobile and users access an increasing number of applications using multiple devices. This comprehensive solution enables desktops to follow users throughout the organization, making electronic data available wherever they are with the touch of a finger or the tap of a proximity card. Imprivata OneSign can be configured to be fully location aware, meaning application, default printer and application settings are configured dynamically based on the particular workstation being accessed by the user.
According to a July 2010 research report from independent IT analyst firm The 451 Group entitled “Virtualized Desktops Grow Up,” author Steve Coplan, Senior Security Analyst, contends that desktop virtualization is not a panacea for endpoint security and that as adoption matures, new security requirements will emerge. Administrators will need oversight and visibility into activity on virtualized endpoints. Users of ‘desktops in the cloud’ will need to be authenticated.
Imprivata OneSign®, Imprivata’s flagship solution provides healthcare organizations with rapid single sign-on and strong authentication for all leading HIS vendors, including Cerner, CPSI, Eclipsys, Epic, GE Healthcare, Healthland, McKesson, MEDITECH, Siemens Healthcare, as well as all other types of applications. Key Imprivata OneSign features include OneSign FastPass, OneSign ProveID, OneSign Secure Walk Away, shared workstations and fast user switching, built-in support for a broad range of authentication and multiple card types, self-service password reset and seamless integration with context management solutions.
