How healthcare providers can tighten security using identity

Healthcare providers are increasingly integrating Unified Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) strategies to protect patient data, ensure regulatory compliance, enhance user experience, and cut costs. IAM confirms user identities and manages access rights across healthcare IT systems. Meanwhile, MFA requires users to provide multiple verification factors, decreasing the risk of unauthorized access. These technologies can use features like biometric authentication, one-time passwords, SMS verification, and push notifications.
