Fiberlink Launches MaaS360 Mobile Device Management for Healthcare

BLUE BELL, Pa., Feb. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fiberlink^®, the leader in software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for secure mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM), today unveiled MaaS360 for Healthcare, a standard configuration option designed specifically to meet the needs of healthcare providers.  Through a single, unified view of policy and status reporting across tablets and smartphones, MaaS360 helps CIOs identify and manage the complex challenges of mobile health initiatives and data security risks to meet strict HIPAA compliance requirements.

Smartphones and tablets are transforming the way healthcare is delivered but can present significant technical and security challenges.  By using MaaS360, hospitals can apply pre-configured policies for email, VPN, WiFi, passcodes and encryption with the ability to remotely wipe devices if they are lost or stolen. In addition, MaaS360 provides the capabilities needed to deploy and manage mobile electronic health records through a secure on-device application and document catalog.

MaaS360 for Healthcare provides a standard policy configuration for mobile security management that includes:

• Customizable HIPAA Watch List and meaningful use reporting
• Real-time alerting for out-of-compliance devices
• Automated policy enforcement and remediation
• Current and historical device compliance status with policy enforcement details
• Alerting and auto-quarantine of non-approved devices
• Over-the-air device configuration management
• Remote actions such as full and selective wipe, lock and reset passcode
• Security enforcement such as passcode and device encryption
• Identification and restriction of jailbroken and rooted devices
• Mobile application lifecycle management
• Secure document distribution

MaaS360 provides surgeons, clinicians and administrative staff with secure access to information systems and critical applications.  Many healthcare organizations have already embraced mobile devices along with the security and management responsibilities associated with them. MaaS360's impact on the healthcare industry can be seen in a recent announcement with St. Vincent's Hospital and in an upcoming educational session by Sutter Health at HiMSS12 entitled, EHR to Go: Opportunities and Challenges of Mobile EHR Deployment.

"Healthcare providers operate in a highly regulated environment.  And with more and more doctors and clinical staff accessing patient data remotely, mobile devices present an increased threat for data breaches, especially if a device is lost or stolen," said Jim Sheward, CEO at Fiberlink.  "MaaS360 provides the essential technology healthcare CIOs need to control the rapidly growing use of mobile devices, which can compromise the integrity of sensitive information."

MaaS360 for Healthcare is available immediately.  Any healthcare provider can get up and running in minutes with a free 30-day trial at www.maas360.com/healthcare.

Attendees of the HiMSS12 Annual Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas this week can visit booth #13125 Hall G to view a live demonstration depicting how MaaS360 enables healthcare organizations with simple, secure access to electronic healthcare records on mobile devices.
