Case Study: Large Healthcare Service Provider achieves NIST‑Level 4 MFA protection for 6,400 users in 4 months with Axiad

Axiad Helps Healthcare Provider Step Up Its Fight To Protect Member & Company Information

Large Healthcare Service Provider faced rising security threats and, after two company laptops were stolen exposing sensitive data, needed stronger authentication than passwords alone. The organization engaged Axiad to deliver a federal‑grade PKI-based multi‑factor authentication (MFA) solution using YubiKeys/smart cards to meet NIST Level 4 requirements.

Axiad created a mirrored test environment and executed a phased rollout across laptops, VPN, internal web apps, digital signing and email, securing 6,400 users and devices in about four months. Axiad’s PKI/YubiKey deployment delivered faster logins (~0.5s), simplified administration, integration with existing IAM, reduced additional investment, and achieved 100% reported user satisfaction while eliminating major breach risk.
