Case Study: Seattle Cancer Care Alliance achieves enhanced patient care and stronger security with SecureAuth

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Enhances Both Patient Care and Security with Adaptive Authentication from SecureAuth

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) is a leading cancer treatment and research center that needed to enable secure remote access to clinical systems without adding friction for physicians treating patients at partner sites. The organization required two-factor authentication for home access but a low-friction experience at the bedside, and wanted a variety of second-factor options (knowledge-based, SMS, device recognition, etc.) rather than a cloud-only or proprietary solution.

SCCA implemented the SecureAuth Identity Platform, which supports 25+ authentication factors (push, OTP by SMS/phone/email, OATH tokens, knowledge-based, device recognition) plus SAML and self-service password reset. Deployment took hours, reduced help-desk password reset calls, preserved fast, low-friction on-site access while securing remote logins with adaptive MFA, and improved overall user productivity.
