Breaking Healthcare’s Identity Barriers: Security That Enables Patient Care
Rising cyber attacks target healthcare systems at unprecedented rates, legacy authentication creates dangerous security gaps, and fragmented identity systems disrupt the clinical workflows that clinicians depend on to deliver patient care.
With healthcare experiencing the highest breach rates among all critical infrastructure sectors, the challenge is clear: traditional identity approaches compromise both security and clinical efficiency.
Patient trust drives healthcare success, yet authentication friction undermines both security and experience. Clinicians sharing passwords to bypass slow login processes, patients abandoning digital health services due to complex access requirements, and IT teams struggling with manual provisioning across dozens of legacy systems - these everyday realities threaten the digital transformation healthcare needs to thrive.
