Protecting Sensitive Data in Medical Institutions: How the Regional Center for Blood Donation & Hemotherapy in Warsaw Utilizes Safetica

The Regional Center for Blood Donation and Hemotherapy (Regionalne Centrum Krwiodawstwa i Krwiolecznictwa or RCKiK) in Warsaw is comprised of 10 territorial branches and 5 ambulances that facilitate mobile blood collection, and supply more than 150 liters of blood and blood components to more than 100 hospitals every day. Other customers include clinics and institutes that perform thousands of complex operations, transplants, transfusions and other procedures for which blood or its components are required.

As a medical institution, the RCKiK in Warsaw processes a huge amount of sensitive data containing information about the health of its donors. Until recently, most of the data was processed through paper records, but with technological developments, the digitization of data has become the norm. This switch has introduced a new threat of cyber-attacks and sensitive data leaks through accidental or intentional sharing. This has posed new challenges for the RCKiK.

The security of donor and patient data is a priority for us. That’s why we decided to introduce another technological solution that will ensure comprehensive protection, compliance with regulations and further increase the effectiveness of IT systems securing our facility,

says Karol Pszkit,
Head of the IT Section at the Regional Center for Blood Donation and Hemotherapy in Warsaw.

Medical identity theft occurs when someone uses identifying information related to another person’s health without that person’s knowledge. This can include his or her personal information, home address, registration number and medical records. Unauthorized individuals can use this information to purchase drugs, access reimbursed medical services or file false insurance claims, among other things. Additionally, stolen donor data can be used for other identity fraud.

With more than 300 employees, it’s difficult for us to monitor whether each of them is following procedures correctly. Safetica does this for us, so we know how our center’s processing is going. An additional advantage of the software is that it also performs an educational function in the organization, informing employees whether certain actions on files are appropriate – this is an additional element of protection against accidental data leakage,

explains Karol Pszkit of the RCKiK in Warsaw.

Safetica’s well-configured rules enable the software to detect when sensitive data is about to be mistakenly transmitted, and promptly notifies the employee with a warning message about the potential risk of their action. If the user has the authorization to perform such operations, he or she is allowed to complete the task after giving the necessary explanation to network administrators. Thanks to the fact that Safetica DLP allows continuous monitoring of activities on data, the resources of the Regional Center for Blood Donation and Hemotherapy in Warsaw are even better protected, and employees are aware that the correct way of doing things contributes in a practical way to maintaining the required level of data security for employers, patients

Before implementing the Safetica solution, we received a test version along with training on how to use the management console. The implementation itself went quickly and smoothly. An additional advantage is the exemplary technical support from certified engineers. If we have any questions, we seamlessly receive comprehensive and express assistance,

concludes Karol Pszkit.

Single Sign-On: What it is and how it works

Nowadays, single sign-on (SSO) authentication is required more than ever. Many websites offer users the option to sign up with Google, Apple, or any other service. Chances are you have logged in to something via single sign-on today or at least this week. But do you know what it is, how it works, and why it’s used? Take a deep dive into the world of single sign-on and all things related to it.

What is SSO?

Single sign-on is a session and user authentication service that allows the user to use a single set of login credentials – namely, a username and password – to access multiple websites or applications. Put plainly, SSO allows users to sign up and access a variety of online accounts with a single username and password, thus making things a lot easier for the everyday user. SSO’s primary use is as an identification system that permits websites and apps to use the data of other trusted sites to verify a user upon login or sign-up.

Essentially, SSO puts an end to the days of remembering and entering multiple passwords. An added bonus is that SSO gets users out of the vicious password reset loops.

Additionally, SSO can be great for business, as it improves productivity, security control, and management. With a single security token (a username and password), IT professionals can enable or disable a user’s access to multiple systems, which in some cases mitigates cybersecurity risks.

So, how does the magical service work?

How does SSO work?

Single sign-on is a component of a centralized electronic identity known as federated identity management (FIM). FIM, or Identity Federation, is a system that enables users to use the same verification method to access multiple applications and other resources on the web. FIM is responsible for a few essential processes:

  • Authentication

  • Authorization

  • User attributes exchange

  • User management

When we talk about SSO, it is important to understand that it is primarily related to the authentication part of the FIM system. It’s concerned with establishing the user’s identity and then sharing that information with each platform that requires that data.

Fancy jargon aside, here are the basic operational processes of single sign-on:

  • You enter a website.

  • You click “Sign In with Apple” or any other service.

  • The site opens Apple’s account login page.

  • If you’re already logged in, then it gives the site your data.

  • You are logged in to your Apple account.

  • Apple’s site verifies that you are authorized to access the site.

  • If you’re authorized, the site creates a session for you and logs you in.

In technical terms, when the user first signs in via an SSO service, the service creates an authentication cookie that remembers that the user is verified. An authentication cookie is a piece of code stored in the user’s browser or the SSO service’s servers. Next time the user logs in to that same app or website using SSO, the service then transfers the user’s authentication cookie to that platform, and the user is allowed to access it. It’s important to highlight that an SSO service doesn’t identify the exact user since it does not store user identities.

What is an SSO Token?

An SSO token is a digital unit that contains data about a particular user such as their email address. The token is used to transfer user information from one system to another during the single sign-on process. For the recipient to verify that the token comes from a trusted source, it has to be signed digitally.

The SSO service creates a token whenever a user signs in to it. The token works like a temporary ID card which helps identify an already verified user. This means that when the user tries to access a given app, the SSO service will need to pass the user’s authentication token to that app so they can be allowed in.

Single-Sign-On Costs

Because many of the SSO solutions currently available on the market are cloud-based, most of them are offered in a monthly subscription model. The price of a cloud-driven SSO solution designed for small and mid-sized businesses can range from $1 to $10 per user per month.

However, those that want to get an SSO solution designed for a big enterprise will need to either pay more each month or make an entry fee. Enterprise-grade solutions are usually more wide-ranging and require vendors to customize them to each of their client’s needs and requirements. Hence, the price difference.

Is single sign-on secure?

Yes. An SSO protocol is secure when implemented and managed properly and used alongside other cybersecurity tools.

The main benefit introduced by single-sign on with regard to cybersecurity is that, because it allows using a single set of credentials for multiple services, there are fewer login details to be lost or stolen. As long as the server is secure and an organization’s access control policies are established, a malicious user or an attacker will have little to no chance to do any damage.

However, this benefit could also pose a certain kind of risk. Since SSO provides instant access to multiple accounts via a single endpoint, if a hacker gains access to an authenticated SSO account, they will also gain access to all the linked applications, websites, platforms, and other online environments.

This issue can be easily mitigated by implementing an additional layer of security known as Multi-Factor Authentication. Combining SSO with MFA allows service providers to verify users’ identity while giving them easy access to applications or online platforms.

The benefits of SSO

Reduced password fatigue

With SSO in place, users only have to remember one password, making life a lot easier. Password fatigue is real and dangerous. SSO encourages users to come up with a single strong password rather than using a simple one for each account separately. It also helps users escape the vicious cycle of password reset loops.

Increased employee and IT productivity

When deployed in a business setting, SSO can be a real time saver. According to a recent report, people waste 16.3 billion hours a year trying to remember, type, or reset passwords. In a business environment, every minute counts. Thanks to SSO, users don’t need to hop between multiple login URLs or reset passwords and can focus on the tasks at hand.

Enhanced user experience

One of the most valuable benefits of SSO is an improved user experience. Because repeated logins are not required, users can enjoy a digital experience with less hassle. This means that users will be less hesitant to use the service. For any commercial web-based service, SSO is an essential part of their user experience.

Centralized control of user access

SSO offers organizations centralized control over who has access to their systems. In a business setting, you can use SSO to grant new employees specific levels of access to different systems. You can also provide employees with a single set of credentials (username and passwords) to access all company systems.

Top single sign-on solutions

Microsoft Azure AD

Microsoft Azure AD includes Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) as an option to support SSO. Azure AD also offers reporting, security analytics, and multi-factor authentication services. It’s perfectly suited for any company that uses the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, no matter its size.

Okta Identity Cloud

Okta offers customizable open identity management in real time according to business needs, as well as two-factor authentication and a password reset functionality. Okta can serve the needs of multiple industries, from education and nonprofits to financial services and the government.

OneLogin Unified Access Management Platform

OneLogin is an open-source SSO provider that is often used for employee access to the company’s cloud-based applications. OneLogin is suited for a variety of IT administrator needs since it is designed to enforce IT policy in real time. It can also be updated according to specific needs if any changes occur, such as an employee leaving.

Idaptive Application Services

Idaptive is primarily suited for small to medium-sized businesses. Idaptive is capable of providing support to many users at once, thanks to their new cloud architecture. The company also offers adaptive MFA, enterprise mobility management (EMM), and user behavior analytics (UBA) all in a single solution.

Ping Intelligent Identity Platform

Ping offers services to large enterprises. The solution can serve anywhere between a few hundred to a few million users. Ping provides both on-premises and cloud options for deploying their solution. Additionally, the service comes with multi-factor authentication.

Does NordPass provide SSO?

Yes, NordPass does provide a single sign-on authentication! It can be set up via NordPass Admin Panel for users who want to log in to the NordPass app with their Microsoft Azure, Google Workspace, or Okta credentials.

This means that if you turn on Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AD), Google Single Sign-On, or Okta Single Sign-On, and invite new members who use one of these SSOs, they will be allowed to login in using their Azure AD, Google, or Okta SSO credentials — it’s as simple as that.

CyberLink FaceMe® facial recognition integrates with MediaTek’s Genio 700 IoT Platform to deliver a 6.5X performance boost

CyberLink (5203.TW), a leading manufacturer of AI facial recognition technologies, has strengthened its presence in the smart IoT market. The company has announced that its FaceMe® facial recognition engine has been integrated with MediaTek’s Genio 700 next-gen smart IoT platform, dramatically increasing AI performance.

While it continues to integrate with numerous other IoT platforms, CyberLink FaceMe® has significantly improved performance on MediaTek’s latest Genio 700 processors. Running on a Genio 700, the FaceMe® engine is accelerated by MediaTek’s AI Processing Unit (APU). Performance tests show that, in comparison to running exclusively via CPU processing, the APU hardware / software integration increases performance by 6.5X, with a 24% reduction in CPU usage.

The new MediaTek processor provides faster, more efficient and reliable AI facial recognition processing, meeting the complex, high-speed edge computing needs of smart retail and smart security and access control operations. “The strong alliance between CyberLink and MediaTek, with its Genio IoT products, will provide FaceMe® users with faster, more convenient, and powerful facial recognition edge computing products,” said Jau Huang, Chairman and CEO of CyberLink, “enhancing the security and dependability of deployed facial recognition services.”

MediaTek’s Genio 700 is a high-performance AI computing IoT platform. This system-on-chip (SoC) provides powerful CPU, GPU and AI modules, designed for smart home, smart retail and industrial IoT devices. By integrating the latest AI cores and accelerators, the Genio 700 greatly enhances the smart computing power of edge devices, and significantly increases the number of image frames that can be processed per second. MediaTek’s platform can also support real-time AI facial recognition from multiple simultaneous video streams, improving the identification efficiency for implementation scenarios such as smart retail, and access control.

CyberLink FaceMe® not only recognizes faces but can also identify gender, age, and emotions. These features enable the turnkey FaceMe® Smart Retail customer analytics solution to obtain insight into guest demographics, behaviours, and trends. FaceMe® Security strengthens on-site security, with a more complete intelligent security control system.
