"Organizations in the healthcare sector – and especially those engaged in delivering healthcare services – have always been juicy targets for cyber attackers."

"Imprivata is trying to make it easier for healthcare organizations to adapt to the new digital work environment. The company noted that many healthcare organizations are not as secure as they once were, largely because access control has become far more complicated than locks and doors. Employees are using digital applications and gaining access to sensitive materials from a rapidly expanding array of devices and locations, and that remote and cloud setup has exposed potential gaps in many cybersecurity setups."
