Waltham, Mass.— March 31, 2026 — Imprivata, a leading provider of access management solutions for healthcare and other mission-critical industries, today announced that the company has won the Global InfoSec Awards 2026 for the Most Advanced Passwordless Authentication solution.
Presented by Cyber Defense Magazine during the RSA Conference 2026, the award recognizes Imprivata’s innovation in advancing passwordless authentication through Imprivata Enterprise Access Management (EAM), the company’s next-generation access management platform that delivers intelligent, adaptive, and frictionless access across every user, device, and location. In addition to winning the Global InfoSec Award, Imprivata was also named an SC Award finalist in the Best Authentication Technology category.
“Being recognized for our advanced passwordless capabilities underscores a fundamental shift in how organizations approach identity and access,” said Fran Rosch, CEO of Imprivata. “With Imprivata EAM, we’re enabling enterprises to move beyond passwords entirely, delivering secure, seamless access experiences through facial recognition, AI-powered intelligence, adaptability, and continuous risk awareness.”
Advanced authentication for the modern enterprise
Building on its proven leadership in providing secure, frictionless access, Imprivata has evolved its capabilities into a comprehensive enterprise-wide passwordless platform. Imprivata EAM enables passwordless authentication for frontline staff, knowledge workers, privileged users, and third parties—all through a single, unified solution.
Imprivata EAM combines multiple passwordless technologies—including facial recognition, FIDO2 passkeys, and TPM-bound device keys—to deliver intuitive authentication experiences that are as simple as unlocking a smartphone. At the same time, the platform continuously evaluates risk using AI-powered behavioral analytics, assessing user behavior, device posture, and location context to dynamically enforce adaptive access policies.
“Imprivata embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
