Aladdin eToken Customer Offers Hands-On Demonstration

The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, a customer of the Aladdin eToken strong user authentication and password management solution, will also host an exciting hands-on learning experience that permits attendees to encounter and use an actual university management system in multiple modes to accomplish real-world tasks.

The event also includes small group sessions where participants will have the opportunity to work collaboratively to resolve a case in one of three areas: education, research or clinical. At the end of the workshop, the small groups will share their solutions with the larger group and the attendees will come together to discuss several large projects and potential future directions.

"Identity Management is a huge issue in the Healthcare Industry," said William A. Weems, Ph.D. of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.

As one of the sponsors of this event, Aladdin will be demonstrating how some of their products have been applied to solve these problems. The overall objective of this event is to provide the attendees with the tools necessary to clearly define the issues and provide solutions to this critical challenge faced throughout Healthcare and Education."
