Healthcare organizations are facing pressure. The Association of American Medical Colleges projects a shortage of more than 85,000 primary care physicians by 2036, leaving clinicians to support growing patient demands with fewer resources. The result is alarming: burnout rates among nurses continue to climb, with more than 65% reporting high stress.
Passwords remain one of the weakest links in cybersecurity. According to Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report, 80% of breaches stem from compromised credentials.
As healthcare systems face mounting cyber threats targeting their most sensitive accounts, many are still struggling to close critical access gaps. In fact, only 36% of health IT leaders say their organizations have a privileged access strategy that’s consistently applied enterprise-wide, according to data from Imprivata and the Ponemon Institute.
Mobile devices are just what the doctor ordered, but not all healthcare providers' IT departments have the right tools to manage them.
Despite years of investment in cybersecurity awareness training, complex password policies, and multifactor authentication (MFA), human error remains a top cause of data breaches. According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report, 90% of successful cyberattacks and 70% of data breaches originate at endpoint devices, often triggered by employee workarounds under pressure to move fast.
