What a Security Audit Revealed About Healthcare Identity Gaps

The healthcare sector has experienced the highest data breach costs of any industry for 14 consecutive years, with the average breach now totaling $7.4 million. This is totally unacceptable.

For an industry that's always in threat actors’ crosshairs, protecting patient data and upholding organizational trust has never been more urgent. Healthcare organizations must defend sensitive information against significant financial and reputational threats—while still delivering an exceptional user experience for patients and staff.

Join us for an insightful webinar on tackling the critical challenge of Identity Security. We’ll examine vulnerabilities linked to insufficient Identity & Access Management (IAM) and explore effective strategies, including Phishing Resistant Authentication and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR).

In this webinar, you will learn:

How identity-based attacks exploit common gaps in healthcare IAM architectures
What phishing-resistant authentication means in practice and why it matters for HIPAA compliance
How Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) complements your existing security tools
Practical next steps for evaluating and strengthening your identity security posture

Who Should Attend: CISOs, Security Architects, Network Engineers, IT Managers, and anyone responsible for enterprise security

Are you ready to discover how robust identity security measures can help you reduce risk without sacrificing user experience or productivity?
