Strengthen Healthcare IAM Strategies with Better Visibility
Healthcare today is a maze of digital platforms and apps, all intertwined to deliver patient data to those who need it to provide the best care possible. Safeguarding sensitive patient information has never been more critical in this complex environment. The growing complexity of healthcare systems has made Identity and Access Management (IAM) more essential than ever, serving as a vital component of your cybersecurity strategy to protect patient data, build trust, and maintain compliance.
As healthcare organizations strive to enhance patient care and streamline operations, they often encounter the challenge of managing an expanding array of apps. The presence of shadow IT elements and the rapid growth of apps can introduce identity risks that are difficult to detect and manage. Even with robust Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) tools in place, gaps can still emerge—gaps that Savvy is here to help close by augmenting your existing IAM and IGA solutions.
Improving IAM Visibility
In healthcare, IAM visibility is crucial to ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data. However, as the number of digital tools and apps increases, so does the potential for blind spots within your IAM framework. These blind spots can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance violations, putting patient data and organizational integrity at risk.
Savvy enhances your IAM strategy by providing comprehensive visibility across your app ecosystem, ensuring these blind spots are identified and addressed before they can cause harm. With Savvy, you gain insights into:
- Centralized and Automated Visibility: Gain a holistic view of identity app usage across your organization. Savvy offers centralized and automated insights into how identities interact with various apps, highlighting associated risks and ensuring no user or application goes unnoticed.
- Risky Logins and Credential Misuse Detection: Identify and mitigate risks associated with unfederated or unknown apps. Savvy provides visibility into risky login attempts and misuse of corporate credentials, even in applications that might not be fully integrated with your IAM system.
- Real-Time Access Tracking: Monitor user access to apps in real-time, providing a level of visibility previously unattainable. This real-time tracking allows for immediate detection of unauthorized access, enabling swift responses to potential security threats.
- Identify Partially Offboarded Accounts: Ensure all accounts are fully deactivated upon an employee’s departure. Savvy helps identify partially offboarded accounts, which can be a significant security vulnerability if left unchecked.
This level of visibility is essential for detecting anomalies and ensuring that your IAM policies are being enforced consistently across your entire organization. This proactive approach strengthens your IAM strategy and builds a solid foundation for future growth and adaptability as your organization continues to evolve.
Enhancing IGA Visibility
Your Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solution is integral to managing identities and ensuring that access to sensitive information is tightly controlled. However, maintaining complete visibility can become increasingly challenging as your SaaS ecosystem grows. IGA tools require comprehensive data and insights to function effectively, but gaps can emerge—especially when apps or users are not fully integrated into your current systems.
Savvy bridges these gaps by providing deeper visibility into all your apps. This includes those that might otherwise fall through the cracks, ensuring that no app or user is overlooked. With Savvy’s enhanced visibility, your IGA tools operate more accurately, offering a more detailed understanding of how identities are managed across your entire digital landscape.
By augmenting your IGA solution, Savvy helps you detect and address potential governance issues before they escalate, ensuring your organization remains compliant with industry regulations while safeguarding sensitive information. This collaboration between Savvy and your IAM solutions provides true, end-to-end protection across all platforms and apps, keeping your IAM strategy robust and up-to-date with today’s most pressing challenges.
The Importance of Full Visibility in SaaS Security
In the healthcare industry, the rise of sophisticated cyber-attacks—often targeting unseen vulnerabilities—highlights the need for complete visibility and control over your SaaS ecosystem. While your IGA tools are designed to manage and govern identities, they work best when complemented by solutions that offer deep visibility into all aspects of your SaaS environment.
Savvy provides this visibility, empowering you to detect and manage potential risks before they can be exploited. This comprehensive approach helps ensure that your IAM strategy is robust and resilient in the face of evolving threats.
