Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Epic Hyperdrive is a security solution designed to protect access to electronic health records (EHR). It requires users to submit two sets of credentials to log in successfully. The first part of the authentication requires the user’s Epic Hyperdrive username and password. The second part requires the user to prove their identity using an additional authentication method, such as Mobile Push. Once the user passes both steps, the user gains access to the resource. Epic Hyperdrive MFA considerably reduces the risk of malicious parties accessing protected resources with stolen login information by requiring two credentials.
What is Epic Hyperdrive?
Epic Hyperdrive is an updated EHR (electronic health record) system from Epic that runs on an embedded Chromium-based browser. Replacing the previous “Classic Hyperspace” client application, Hyperdrive offers specialized features for healthcare applications, including device integration, optimized printing, advanced PHI security, and location-based services. Epic Hyperdrive technology provides a reliable and lightweight alternative for healthcare organizations.
Benefits of Enabling MFA for Epic Hyperdrive
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security measure that utilizes two or more authentication factors to verify a user’s identity.

Additionally, using MFA can help organizations meet strict compliance requirements, such as HIPAA and EPCS, and provide an extra layer of protection.
The following are some of the key benefits of enabling MFA for Epic Hyperdrive:
- Enhanced Security: MFA adds an additional layer of protection, making it more difficult for hackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive EHR data.
- Increased Patient Satisfaction: MFA can help ensure that patients’ confidential data is protected and secure, improving patient satisfaction.
- Improved Auditability: MFA can help ensure that only authorized personnel can access the EHR system, providing a better audit trail for compliance purposes.
- Increased Data Compliance: MFA can help organizations meet HIPAA and other compliance regulations by restricting access to protected health information.
- Reduced Risk of Data Breaches: The combination of multi-factor authentication factors can help dramatically reduce the risk of data breaches and the use of stolen credentials.
- Reduced Costs: MFA can help organizations save money by reducing the need for expensive, dedicated security staff and equipment.
- Improved User Experience: MFA provides a more streamlined and secure experience for users accessing the EHR system.
- Increased privacy: MFA can help protect patient data by requiring additional layers of authentication.
