HIMSS, the healthcare industry's premier professional organization
focusing on the optimal use of healthcare information technology and
management systems, has deployed the Netilla Security Platform at its Chicago
headquarters. HIMSS is using Netilla to provide its executive management and
IT staff with "anytime, anywhere" access, via standard Web browsers, to a full
suite of applications, including client/server- and Web-based programs.
"As a diverse healthcare professional services organization that sponsors
a full range of industry events, seminars and professional education programs,
HIMSS has an unusually broad range of applications that our executives need to
access - from anywhere," said Jeremy Landfare, director of information
technology, HIMSS. "After evaluating many vendors, we selected Netilla
because of its ability to deliver all SSL VPN access types - thin client, Web
and SSL tunnel - on a single platform."
"The fact that HIMSS, the leading national organization promoting the use
of IT to improve healthcare delivery, has selected Netilla for secure
application access management is a powerful validation of the value we bring,"
said Bryan Bain, vice president of marketing and corporate development at
Netilla Networks. "Netilla's ability to provision secure remote access while
serving as an enterprise policy enforcement point is speeding HIMSS' evolution
to a truly virtual enterprise that can tap into any information, regardless of
location."
HIMSS is using the Netilla Security Platform to provide its staff with
secure remote access to applications and files. HIMSS found Netilla's unique
thin-client access mode especially useful for enabling legacy applications
such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Outlook and an SQL-based association
management system to be accessible via any Web browser. Since HIMSS is a
major producer of industry conferences, Netilla's ability to provide remote
access to an internal application for selling trade-show floor space was a
definite plus.
In addition, Netilla provides HIMSS with secure access to Outlook Web
Access and an intranet knowledge portal, both Web-based applications. And for
applications already installed on authorized user's PC, such as Microsoft
Outlook, HIMSS employees can work offline and then use the Netilla Virtual
Adapter to sync up with central servers via an SSL-encrypted tunnel.
HIMSS has deployed the Netilla solution in combination with the RSA
SecurID(R) two-factor authentication solution. The RSA SecurID solution
provides its users with the mobility and freedom to securely authenticate to
the network from virtually anywhere with an Internet connection.
"The RSA SecurID solution at HIMSS demonstrates how two-factor
authentication can help organizations to improve access to information,
increase efficiencies, and ultimately be more competitive," said John Worrall,
vice president of worldwide marketing at RSA Security. "Our strategic
partnership with Netilla provides our joint customers with easy-to-use and
innovative VPN and authentication solutions that establish trust, security and
privacy for sensitive information."
HIMSS contracted with Detroit-based systems integrator Computers &
Concepts to design, install and support the secure remote access solution. The
solution included Microsoft terminal services, the Netilla Security Platform
and RSA SecureID(R). Computers & Concepts is a Netilla Certified Solution
Provider as well as an RSA Security Partner. "Implementation was relatively
quick due to the tight integration between the Netilla platform and RSA
SecureID," said Dan Johnston, director of sales at Computers & Concepts.
