As cyber threats escalate and budgets tighten, security discussions are increasingly shifting away from predicting the next big thing and toward identifying what delivers real, measurable results. With ransomware attacks rising across sectors and global cyber insurance premiums increasing by 15-20% year-over-year, boards are pressuring CISOs to demonstrate measurable returns on every dollar spent.

Despite years of investment in cybersecurity awareness training, complex password policies, and multifactor authentication (MFA), human error remains a top cause of data breaches. According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report, 90% of successful cyberattacks and 70% of data breaches originate at endpoint devices, often triggered by employee workarounds under pressure to move fast.

At a time when security and efficiency are crucial for modern enterprises, business leaders can’t afford to choose one over the other.

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.
