Secure IT solutions from Fujitsu
Health Protection Surveillance Centre
Fujitsu has a proven track record in providing innovative and reliable IT solutions and services, incorporating the best and most appropriate technology that creates value for its customers by helping them to realise their business vision and deliver impeccable customer service.
Fujitsu provided the IT solution for Ireland’s Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC). Owing to the confidential nature of medical data contained within the IT systems, a secure and controlled environment had to be established. Fujitsu employed two-factor authentication to extend basic authentication using RSA ACEServer and SecurID tokens integrated with Microsoft Active Directory over SSL encrypted communications.
HPSC was set up to monitor and control the spread of infectious diseases within the population. Their objective was simple, “Improve the health of the Irish population by the collection, interpretation and provision of the best possible information on diseases”. These activities are achieved through surveillance and independent advice, epidemiological investigation, research and training.
