“We are delighted with Gartner’s Strong Positive rating of Imprivata based on analysis of OneSign SSO – the cornerstone of our product platform,” said Omar Hussain, president and CEO of Imprivata. “Our history of working closely with customers and the industry’s most advanced technologists to develop practical solutions has positioned Imprivata well as industries are increasingly driven to secure, monitor and report on user access to data, all while improving productivity. This is especially true in healthcare, where Imprivata has become the de facto standard for fast and secure access to applications.”
