Case Study: GHU Paris psychiatrie et neurosciences enables secure remote work with Systancia Gate

Allow hospital staff to work from home without compromising the IT security of the healthcare entity

Groupe Hospitalier Universitaire (GHU) Paris psychiatrie et neurosciences, a leading Parisian hospital group, needed to quickly enable secure remote work for its staff in response to the COVID-19 lockdown. The challenge was to rapidly deploy a solution that would not compromise the IT security of the healthcare entity, especially with employees using personal computers.

Systancia implemented its Systancia Gate solution, which utilizes a Zero Trust (ZTNA) approach and HTML5 technology for browser-based access. The solution, deployed in a single weekend by Systancia, allowed around one hundred employees to work remotely. It featured a double authentication system with OTP tokens to secure access, enabling the safe use of personal devices while protecting the hospital's information system from standard attacks.
