Fast and Secure Authenticated Communication with NeuAPIX

With more than 13 million COVID-19 cases globally, healthcare providers rely on effective communication solutions to share information, schedule appointments, and even treat patients.

At the same time, much of this data is extremely sensitive, ranging from medical conditions to financial payment information. With cyberattacks on the rise during COVID-19, the potential for hacks or leaks has significantly increased, just as healthcare providers are finding themselves more reliant on digital connections than ever.

Using Secure 2FA CPaaS Solutions to Securely Boost Outreach and Data Gathering

Communications-Platforms-as-a-Services (CPaaS) have emerged as a flexible and highly customable solution that enables organizations to manage their communication flow across a variety of channels including real time video, chat, and SMS—with the additional advantage of built-in security features like 2-factor authentication (2FA).

This sort of technology would enable telehealth and remote care services to more secured interactions, collect data including supporting patient reported outcomes (PRO), as well as deliver customized advice and guidance remotely. By requiring patients to verify their identity using 2FA, such CPaaS solutions could boost trust and engagement, while safeguarding patients from cyberattacks that they might otherwise be susceptible too, especially over unprotected home connections. Henceforth, receiving a secondary SMS code such as 2FA, blocked 100 percent of automated attacks, 96 percent of bulk phishing attacks, and 76 percent of direct, targeted attacks – like those made by hired hackers.

How 2FA CPaaS Could Help

CPaaS’s flexible, modular design allows a wide range of customization according to an organizaton’s needs. As an example, organizations trying to collect patient data and deliver community-related information could use CPaaS to deploy Interactive voice response (IVR) solutions.

During this process, patient and caregiver identities during online interactions like video communications and telehealth could be validated using 2FA authentication. Presently, the most widely implemented 2FA solution for strong authentication is a one-time password (OTP) – which usually involves generating a one-time password that is then sent by voice call, SMS, Whats App, or email. The recipient then inputs the code or password in order to sign in.

Using CPaaS solutions have the  additional advantage of fast deployment. An organization can simply sign on with a CPaaS solution provider, such as Telin’s NeuAPIX, customize its functionality as desired, and roll it out immediately throughout the organization without any need for additional infrastructure investment, so long as the existing connectivity is already adequate.

This solution thus allows organizations to scale up quickly and securely in time-sensitive situations where clinics, doctors, and other caregivers need to reach patients or potential patients remotely.
