Imprivata has published a new white paper on how to navigate “the journey to passwordless for healthcare,” covering passwordless authentication in the healthcare sector. Healthcare organizations, it says, face “unique obstacles related to shared mobile devices and workstations, clinical workflows, plus legacy apps, which make achieving full passwordless a challenge.”

The healthcare industry stands at the intersection of innovation and vulnerability, with cyber threats escalating in frequency and sophistication. Joel Burleson-Davis, SVP of Worldwide Engineering, Cyber at Imprivata, believes the way forward lies in transforming how healthcare organizations approach identity security and broader cybersecurity challenges. From embracing passwordless technology to preparing for nation-state threats targeting critical infrastructure, the stakes have never been higher.
As we approach 2025, critical infrastructure industries will undergo significant digital transformation driven by technological advancements and evolving security challenges. Technologies that enhance both cybersecurity and user efficiency are being prioritized to shape the frontline workforce of the future.
With cyberattacks surging in sophistication and frequency, and 87% of CISOs and tech executives increasing security spending by 2025, IT leaders face mounting pressure to keep pace with both threats and competition.
After the publication of Lord Darzi’s rapid review of the health service in September, PM Keir Starmer pledged to move “from an analogue to a digital NHS” to address a service in disrepair, with outdated IT and low productivity. But will an increased focus and larger investment in digital transformation guarantee the improvements we desperately need? Or do we first need to ask searching questions?

It’s access – to families, to communities, to hobbies, to a full, robust life – that carers provide to residents. It truly means everything. Access is the goal, but it can also be part of the solution. Specifically, access management can help carers ensure that care is provided with ease, securely.
In 2025, businesses are poised for substantial digital transformation driven by increased demands for technologies that enhance both cybersecurity and user efficiency. Gartner predicts that global information security spending is expected to grow by 15% next year, underscoring the pressing need for critical industries to prepare their workforces, systems, and processes for the evolving threat landscape and changing operational demands.
