Imprivata helps organizations secure critical access and strengthen continuous monitoring for the AI era

AI is accelerating risk and exposing gaps in traditional security models. Visibility and control are essential to extending identity security to autonomous AI agents.

As AI accelerates both cyber defense and cyber threat activity, Imprivata gives healthcare and other mission-critical organizations the visibility, risk analytics, human oversight, and governance controls needed to detect suspicious behavior, investigate faster, and support AI readiness.

Anthropic’s Project Glasswing reinforces the urgency. Hardening systems alone is no longer enough; organizations now need stronger monitoring and security operations.

Project Glasswing and its Mythos model highlight a dual reality. AI can uncover vulnerabilities faster than ever, but in the wrong hands, it can also exploit them at unprecedented speed and scale. The risk isn’t just flaws in code; it’s how quickly and autonomously those flaws can be exploited.

Imprivata has long prioritized proactive security, with rigorous testing, vulnerability management, and strict internal AI governance. But the AI era raises the bar. Security teams now need real-time visibility, faster detection, tighter governance, and better ways to investigate activity across users, systems, devices, and increasingly, AI agents.

That’s where Imprivata’s Agentic Identity Management comes in.

Traditional IAM was built for humans. AI agents break that model, operating autonomously, continuously, and across systems. Without proper controls, they introduce a new class of identity risk.

Imprivata extends identity security to agents by:

• Establishing trusted identities for AI agents so every action is attributable 
• Enforcing dynamic least-privilege access based on context and risk 
• Continuously monitoring behavior to detect anomalies in real time 
• Embedding human oversight for high-risk or sensitive actions 
• Providing clear, explainable audit trails for faster investigation and compliance 

This directly addresses the challenge highlighted by Glasswing. The issue isn’t just prevention, but also control and visibility. Organizations must know what both humans and machines are doing, in real time, and be able to act quickly when something looks wrong.

As AI agents become more autonomous, governance becomes essential. Imprivata is advancing this through AI governance updates, ISO 42001 readiness, expanded detection and response, and continued innovation in Agentic Identity Management.

The takeaway is clear: the old model of simply hardening systems and hoping for the best is no longer enough. The AI era demands more visibility, stronger controls, and faster response. Imprivata will continue to invest and prioritize the security of our own systems and hardware to better serve our customers.
