The emphasis on securing supply chains against sophisticated cyberattacks has never been more pressing. The supply chain represents a vital artery for diverse industries, from healthcare to manufacturing, yet remains a prime vector for cyber infiltration.
Cyber defenses are faltering under the pressure of digital complexity. The interconnected nature of today’s digital world has made it easier for users, third-party vendors, and cyber criminals to compromise organizational security, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
By necessity, most businesses have become heavily reliant on the services of vendors and contractors to meet growing consumer demands. But this has made access to the information, people, goods, and services we rely on a lot more vulnerable than we realize.
Two healthcare organizations faced numerous challenges related to mobile device access. Here’s how they overcame them with help from Imprivata.
The healthcare industry stands at the intersection of innovation and vulnerability, with cyber threats escalating in frequency and sophistication. Joel Burleson-Davis, SVP of Worldwide Engineering, Cyber at Imprivata, believes the way forward lies in transforming how healthcare organizations approach identity security and broader cybersecurity challenges. From embracing passwordless technology to preparing for nation-state threats targeting critical infrastructure, the stakes have never been higher.
Healthcare IT leaders are leveraging technology to combat the ongoing opioid crisis, though significant challenges remain in coordinating care across different settings, according to expert panelists during their session “Informatics for Harm Reduction” at CHIME’s 2024 Fall Forum. The panelists, representing both clinical practice and healthcare administration, shared insights from their experiences implementing technology solutions across multiple care settings.
As we approach 2025, critical infrastructure industries will undergo significant digital transformation driven by technological advancements and evolving security challenges. Technologies that enhance both cybersecurity and user efficiency are being prioritized to shape the frontline workforce of the future.
With cyberattacks surging in sophistication and frequency, and 87% of CISOs and tech executives increasing security spending by 2025, IT leaders face mounting pressure to keep pace with both threats and competition.
