Advanced Cyber Security Introduces Keystroke Encryption to Safeguard Sensitive EMS Healthcare Data

BOHEMIA, NY—Advanced Cyber Security (ACS), the global leader in proactive cybersecurity innovation and the creator of Keystroke Transport Layer Security (KTLS), is proud to introduce keystroke encryption technology designed specifically to protect electronic health records (EHRs), login credentials, and other sensitive patient data at the point of entry.
Recent findings by HIPAA regulators have revealed that unencrypted keystrokes remain a major security gap in healthcare IT infrastructure. With over 80% of keyloggers capable of bypassing traditional endpoint protections, this exposure places electronic protected health information (ePHI) at significant risk.
To meet this challenge, ACS is deploying KTLS—a revolutionary encryption protocol that secures each keystroke the moment it is typed, before it reaches the application or browser. Unlike conventional methods that encrypt data only in transit or at rest, KTLS provides true end-to-end protection starting at the endpoint, effectively neutralizing keylogger-based attacks.
In light of the proposed HIPAA Security Rule updates (45 CFR §164.312) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which emphasize stronger cybersecurity standards for ePHI, keystroke encryption represents a critical step forward in compliance and risk mitigation.
“The industry's current definition of end-to-end encryption fails to address unencrypted keystrokes,” said Massimiliano (Max) Pala, PhD, cryptologist and cybersecurity advisor. “Securing the point of entry with KTLS is essential to achieving HIPAA compliance in today’s threat environment.”
ACS’s KTLS technology is already being recognized as a transformative solution for compliance-heavy industries such as healthcare, banking, and government—where information security and regulatory compliance are paramount.
