Given the complexities associated with health care environments, effective identity and access management (IAM) is key to limiting security vulnerabilities. A common phrase used to describe (IAM) is “enabling the right individuals to access the right resources at the right time.” IAM became an important focus during COVID with healthcare security professionals managing more remote access than ever before.
Most access authentication methods rely on usernames and passwords, an approach proven by the success of phishing and hacking attacks to be weak.
In this HIMSS Security Basics session, our speakers discuss the critical elements of an IAM program required to manage threats to healthcare organizations.
Key discussion points
- Foundations for effective IAM
- Mulit-factor authentication
- Active directory and domain access
