The state of identity security 2023: a spotlight on healthcare

Healthcare is rapidly evolving, facing persistent threats, and spending too much time on manually governing identities. See our key findings from our recent white paper.

Overview

Modernize your healthcare identity security program

Hospitals and healthcare organizations are struggling to quickly enable their staff while securing against targeted cyber attacks.

Organizations need to find ways to reduce their risk and simplify meeting complex compliance requirements. Healthcare identity management is no small task and cannot be handled through manual processes. Healthcare is uniquely challenged with securing individuals with one-to-many roles with multiple authoritative sources within complex user populations.

However, healthcare organizations can increase their security posture and gain operational efficiencies through AI-driven identity security.

  • Assign only the right level of access
  • Prevent friction between clinicians and IT security staff
  • Reduce IT burden managing manual tasks
  • Simplify audit readiness and easily demonstrate compliance
