ENHANCED SOFTWARE STRENGTHENS SECURITY OF SHARED WORKSTATIONS.

BioconX, Inc., developer of network security software that fortifies network and application security with enterprise-wide, biometric single sign-on, has released version 3.6 of its software. BioconX 3.6 supports and biometrically controls multiple, individualized network sessions on shared computers.

"When different users log on with our biometric sign-on at a shared workstation, BioconX 3.6 initiates separate network sessions for each individual user and applies each user's own network profiles and policies," says Don Harris, chief technology officer of BioconX. "Our software not only protects the privacy of individual desktops but also safeguards any processes a user is running when somebody else signs on at the same workstation."

"In healthcare, medical professionals commonly share computers," says Ash Shehata, director of information services and telecommunications, Antelope Valley Hospital, Lancaster, Calif. "BioconX software is unique in its initiation of separate network sessions for each individual who biometrically signs on at a shared workstation. This special capability was one of the key reasons we selected BioconX to secure our network and applications with biometric authentication of all our users." In preparation for the data privacy and computer security requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), Antelope Valley Hospital is implementing BioconX network security software for 2,000 users who run more than 60 different software applications.
