For months, I’d been personally trying to solve for device sprawl, authentication fatigue, and mobile device loss in a rapidly shifting hybrid work environment for one of my projects.

Martin Knight, International Sales Manager for Privileged Access Management at Imprivata, reflects on the results of a recent survey by HTN on current NHS practices around managing third-party access and how cyber tools such as privileged access management solutions can help keep the NHS supply chain secure.

George Gellert MD, MPH, MPA, public health physician and epidemiologist, discusses the findings from one of his recent research collaborations with Imprivata about the reality of using mobile devices within hospitals in the UK, the US, Germany and Australia
