Baltimore, MD—HIPAA Summit—April 7,
2005---Voltage Security, Inc.,
a global leader in enterprise privacy management, and Byram
Healthcare Centers, Inc., a leading provider of medical
supplies to patients in the home, announced today that
Byram has selected Voltage SecureMail™ to help meet HIPAA
regulations by protecting private patient
information in email. Byram employees in sales, acquisitions, billing, and customer service are using Voltage
SecureMail to communicate securely via email with doctors,
referral organizations, medical educators and other business
partners.
“Voltage
is playing a critical role in meeting HIPAA requirements.
We evaluated several secure email solutions from various
vendors and Voltage won out because of its cost advantage
and the functionality offered by Identity-Based Encryption
(IBE) technology,” said Richard Entrup, Chief Information
Officer at Byram. “The Voltage sales team was extremely
helpful and knowledgeable and that helped seal the deal for
Voltage.”
“HIPAA
compliance is a strong driver in today’s market. Medical
organizations want the convenience and efficiency of email
when communicating with doctors, patients and billing organizations.
And, they must protect the privacy of patient data. Using
Voltage SecureMail with easy-to-use IBE encryption technology
is a simple but powerful way to meet these needs,” said
Wasim Ahmad, vice president of marketing for Voltage Security,
Inc.
Voltage
Security products and services feature breakthrough technology
called Identity-Based
Encryption or IBE. IBE greatly simplifies the process
of protecting private digital communications by using a common
identity, such as an email address, as a public key. Unlike
traditional PKI encryption systems, with IBE no certificates
need to be managed and no pre-enrollment in the system is
required. Voltage solutions typically require virtually no
end-user training, can be easily managed by central administration
and can provide policy-based encryption from the “edge
of the network” for a totally automated solution.
