Enhancing Security and Streamlining Authentication: How Monash Health Transformed their Login Process

 

Monash Health, a prominent healthcare provider in Australia, faced the challenge of customizing their login process to meet regulatory compliance while tackling the growing issue of password-related IT support calls. With a user base of 14,000, they sought a replacement for their existing two-factor authentication (2FA) software that could seamlessly integrate with Outlook Web App and other internal applications without compromising HIPAA compliance. Additionally, the IT department aimed to reduce the overwhelming volume of password-related help desk calls, which averaged around 3,000 calls per month.
