Recent Imprivata research reveals a growing security gap in healthcare as more organisations incorporate mobile devices into their technology fleets. The findings show that 74% of shared-use devices are often left signed in after use, and 79% of staff admit to sharing credentials, putting sensitive patient data at risk. Data security is the most frequently cited challenge for shared-use device adoption, cited by 44% of respondents.

Shared-use mobile devices have become indispensable tools in NHS wards, enabling faster communication, streamlined workflows, and more responsive patient care. Yet Imprivata research exposes a striking dual reality: while UK hospitals save an average of £522,000 annually by using shared-use devices instead of personal ones, 47% still lack a formal management policy, leaving critical security and operational gaps that threaten to undermine these gains.

As healthcare accelerates digital transformation efforts, leaders are confronting a critical balancing act: advancing innovation while fortifying defences against growing cyber threats. According to the 2024 Digital Health Most Wired report, IT budget allocations for digital initiatives nearly doubled from 4.8% to 9.7% year over year. This indicates that digital transformation is now essential to care delivery.

Passwords continue to slow down productivity in fast-paced workflows. In addition to creating inefficiencies, they are also known to be less secure than other authentication methods. According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report, 90% of successful cyberattacks and 70% of data breaches originate at endpoint devices.

Cybersecurity in UK healthcare is under mounting pressure. As more embrace digital transformation, relying on more vendors, contractors, and interconnected devices, the risk of cyberattacks and breaches increases. Attacks like the 2024 Synnovis cyberattack, which disrupted over 11,000 NHS appointments and procedures and cost an estimated £32.7 million, reveal the implications of increasing threats in this changing landscape.
