Organizations in mission-critical industries are acutely aware of the growing cyber threats, like the Medusa ransomware gang attacking critical US sectors, but are wary that implementing stricter security protocols will slow productivity and create new barriers for employees. This is a valid concern, but organizations should not accept the trade-off between the inevitability of a breach by avoiding productivity-dampening security measures, or the drop in employee productivity and rise in frustration caused by implementing security measures that might mitigate a threat like Medusa. In this conversation, Joel will discuss how organizations can build a robust security strategy that does not impede productivity. He will highlight how Imprivata’s partnership with SailPoint enables stronger enterprise identity security while enhancing efficiency—helping organizations strike the right balance.
