Effective identity and access security depends on strengthening trust and cyber resilience through AI-powered identity threat detection and response.

The foundation for cybersecurity has shifted. The security perimeter is gone, and complex passwords are becoming obsolete. With AI now embedded in most workflows, powering critical business systems, and even accelerating cyberattacks, identity has become the most reliable control point to build security around. It’s the one constant across users, devices, cloud apps, and third parties.

Single sign-on and access management (SSO/AM) can improve clinician user efficiency and satisfaction by expediting login. The impact of SSO/AM has been quantified in the US and other valuable operational, clinical, and epidemiological utilities of SSO/AM have been described.

George A. Gellert MD, MPH, MPA, is an epidemiologist focused on using information technology to improve public health outcomes. In this blog he discusses the findings from his recent research collaboration with Imprivata, just published in the peer reviewed journal Advances in Health Information Science and Practice (AHISP), the official journal of the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), on the impact and value of single sign-on and access management in hospitals in the UK and Ireland.

A growing cybersecurity talent shortage is reshaping how organisations defend themselves from threats. Recent research shows that in 2025, only 14% of companies report having the talent and resources they need to meet their security goals. As cloud adoption accelerates and adversaries sharpen their tactics, many security teams are struggling to keep pace with digital transformation.
