Kryptiq Launches Secure Email Technology Targeting Health Care Organizations
Integrated Software Application Streamlines Business Processes and Facilitates HIPAA Compliance
ATLANTA, GA — Sept 10, 2002 — Kryptiq Corp., a provider of secure email solutions, today launched its Kryptiq™ Secure Email product for the healthcare market at the HealthSec 2002 conference in Atlanta, GA. Kryptiq Secure Email takes a new approach to securing traditional email that is designed to meet the growing needs of the healthcare industry. The company is focused on helping providers, payers, labs, clinical research organizations and their business partners leverage the power of electronic messaging to improve the quality and lower the cost of delivering healthcare, while protecting Personal Health Information (PHI) as required by HIPAA privacy and security regulations.
Kryptiq Secure Email improves existing electronic messaging (Email) systems, adding security features such as message encryption, recipient authentication and policy controls. Kryptiq Secure Email can be installed as part of Microsoft Outlook™ or other popular email clients, and allows senders to compose, send and track secure messages from their current desktop environment. Secure message recipients can use any email application and are not required to install additional software.
“Healthcare professionals need simple solutions that enhance their communications, provide security and streamline their business processes,” said Luis Machuca, chief executive officer of Kryptiq. “Kryptiq Secure Email was developed to make heightened security and increased productivity compatible. Kryptiq enables healthcare practitioners to automate workflows while meeting the fast-approaching HIPAA requirements.”
Kryptiq Secure Email is scalable, rapidly deployed, easily supported, and integrates with existing workflows and information systems. This solution automates and simplifies tasks including claims submissions, benefits eligibility and billing, lab results and patient record aggregation. Kryptiq Secure Email’s advanced messaging platform helps distribute this information to the point of care and various data management systems. Through the use of an Application Programming Interface (API), Kryptiq provides enterprise solutions that automatically perform complex functions within the healthcare cycle.
The Kryptiq Secure Email Server allows IT departments to centrally enforce policies and controls over corporate email containing sensitive information as well as provide rigorous, end-to-end security, based on 256-bit Federal Advanced encryption standards and 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technologies.
