Customer Profile
Based in Sacramento, the California Department of Technology Services (DTS) provides cost-effective computing, network solutions, electronic messaging, training and large-scale information technology project management to state departments, counties and cities throughout California.
Business Challenge
To comply with HIPAA regulations by establishing and maintaining secure communications within a proprietary healthcare records management system, which must scale to support tens of thousands of unique users. Initial MS IPSec deployment had limited effectiveness and no scalability due to significant management issues and multi-vendor incompatibilities.
Solution
DTS selected Apani’s EpiForce to secure internal data flows traveling between multiple platforms. This cost effective approach secured inside the network perimeter using industry proven IPSec encryption technology. With the flexibility to support multiple operating systems and equipment
infrastructures, EpiForce enabled DTS to support each of its varied governmental constituencies, ranging from the Children’s Welfare Department to the University of California.
