Positive Networks’ PositivePRO Secure Remote Access Service Earns an Editor’s Choice Award from Security Week
PositivePRO™ Service Quickly Becoming a De Facto Standard for Hospital and Healthcare Environments
OVERLAND PARK, KS (October 3, 2006)– Security Week, a leading trade journal dedicated to covering all aspects of the IT security community, has presented Positive Networks with an “Editor’s Choice Award” for the company’s PositivePRO™ secure remote access managed/hosted service. PositivePRO is a complete, secure remote access service for an organization’s remote and mobile employees.
This industry-leading service is fast becoming a de facto standard for hospital networks and healthcare environments to provide doctors, nurses, and administrators with exceptional remote access, endpoint security, and support. Previously, powerful remote access was available only in hardware-based solutions. The Security Week product review and award make it clear those days are over.
“With all the privacy and security compliance requirements hospitals and healthcare organizations have to address, we are particularly delighted to make traction in this market for secure remote access through our PositivePRO hosted/managed service,” said Tim Sutton, CEO, Positive Networks. “This award, from a magazine well read by healthcare IT professionals, is helping to evangelize our service to an important market that now has a better alternative to expensive, hard-to-manage, hard-to-configure appliances.” “Positive Networks is the best choice for SSL VPN functionality as demonstrated by leading hospitals across the country choosing PositivePRO for secure remote access.””
The PositivePRO service features a complete remote-work platform with strong endpoint security. It is developed for use with company-owned laptops, home PCs, other remote devices that can be remotely accessed by client-based access, web-based access, and/or remote desktop control. PositivePRO is the preferred remote access solution for Cerner Millennium® solutions and follows stringent HIPAA patient privacy compliance. Positive Networks helps healthcare organizations overcome the common challenges of providing remote access including lack of internal IT staff expertise, lack of help desk support, and burdensome upfront vpn hardware and vpn software expenses. The service also allows remote printing. PositivePRO is fully supported by hospital/healthcare IT managers as a means of providing secure remote access to the organization’s data and medical records.
