According to Interlink, the LucidLink Wireless Security platform prevents unauthorized network access, authenticates users and maintains usage logs to enable small and mid-size healthcare practices to secure their 802.11 wireless networks and implement the security safeguards required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Wireless computing is a great convenience for healthcare personnel, but a hacker can gain access to patient information in just a few seconds from as far as a mile away if steps haven’t been taken to protect the data as it passes over the wireless link, said John Polakowski, CEO of Azure Solutions of Rochester Hills, Michigan, which installed LucidLink at Pediatric Specialists. LucidLink offers a simple, completely secure solution that can easily be administered by smaller practices.
