OTTAWA (PRWEB) June 13, 2004 -- Validian Corporation (OTC: VLDI) today announced that Joe Grace, who has worked as a senior marketing executive in the eHealth sector for several years, has joined the company as Director of its eHealth Practice.

The health industry is under increasing pressure to constrain escalating administrative costs," said Dr. André Maisonneuve, Validians President and CEO. One way to limit these costs is to move from paper- to web-based systems. However, ethically and under the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), great care must be taken to ensure that private health information is protected at all times. Unfortunately, many of todays security solutions, such as SSL, do not provide an adequate level of security; those that do are prohibitively expensive."
