Delfigo Security, a logical access security provider, announced that the Department of Cardiology at Children’s Hospital Boston has selected DSGateway to help ensure secure access to its newly developed clinical care system.

DSGateway requires no hardware or software and uses multiple factors including biometrics to validate users accessing the system and enables traceability for HIPAA compliance.

It uses multiple identity factors including keystroke dynamics, geospatial location, and system parameters to evaluate each user to assign a confidence factor and transparently provides the appropriate level of system access.
