Security best practices in the age of AI-enabled threats

AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape at an extraordinary pace. Threat actors are using AI to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, automate attacks, and scale phishing and social engineering campaigns faster than ever before. For organisations that depend on secure, reliable access to critical systems, maintaining a strong security posture must be a strategic operational priority.

At Imprivata, security has always been central to how we design, build, deploy, and support our solutions. As AI-enabled cyber threats continue to increase in speed and sophistication, we remain focused on helping customers maintain secure, resilient environments across our product portfolio.

The following represents practical guidance and best-practices recommendations, which have become especially important as AI-enabled threats continue to increase the speed and scale at which attackers can identify and exploit weaknesses.

Confirm that you are running a supported version of Imprivata solutions

Keeping your Imprivata products and services on a supported version is one of the most important steps your organisation can take to maintain security, reliability, and supportability. Supported versions are eligible for the latest guidance, updates, and assistance from Imprivata.

A list of supported versions is readily available in the Product Lifecycle Matrix on the Imprivata Environment Reference website.

Review Imprivata architecture best practices

A secure deployment begins with a strong architecture, so we recommend that you review our Environment Architecture Best Practices guides to confirm that your environment is configured using recommended settings. This guide provides important information to help protect Imprivata appliances and support a secure, resilient Imprivata deployment.

As AI-enabled threats accelerate, strong architecture and configuration discipline become even more important. Environments that are current, well-configured, and aligned to vendor best practices are better positioned to withstand evolving attack techniques and support rapid response when guidance or updates are needed.

Partner with Imprivata to improve visibility into your environment

We encourage you to consider partnering with Imprivata to provide direct insights into your Imprivata environment. This visibility can help Imprivata streamline updates, diagnostics, and support, while enabling a more informed and responsive partnership with your organisation.

In practice, this may include enabling secure appliance communications with Imprivata, in accordance with your organisation’s security, network, and compliance policies. The guidance available in our documentation provides additional detail to help customers evaluate and implement this capability in a way that supports their internal requirements.

Improved visibility helps both Imprivata and our customers respond more efficiently when support is needed, when updates are available, or when new guidance should be evaluated. In a threat environment where speed matters, this kind of partnership can help reduce friction and support better operational readiness.

Resources and ongoing support

Customers can find additional documentation, including supported components, reference architectures, and support policies, on the Imprivata Environment Reference website.

We also encourage customers to read our whitepaper, Artificial Intelligence at Imprivata: Building Responsible, Explainable, and Purposeful AI, which outlines our approach to developing and governing AI responsibly across our solutions and operations.

Security is a shared responsibility, and we value the continued partnership of our customers as we work together to protect access to critical systems, data, and workflows.
