Shared devices, including workstations, smartphones, and tablets, provide efficient and cost-effective access to the information and services that frontline workers in manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and other mission-critical industries need to do their job.   

However, shared devices also present unique security, compliance, and workflow challenges. Organizations often revert to using generic, shared credentials, creating security and auditing gaps, which put the organization at risk, and making it difficult to comply with industry regulations such as the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. At the same time, workflow efficiency is essential to maximizing production, so security cannot create barriers that slow users down.      

Traditional access management solutions are not designed for shared-use environments, and they are not optimized for mobile devices or applications. In these ecosystems, a new access management approach is necessary to drive security, compliance, and productivity.      

In this session, Imprivata Chief Product Officer Chip Hughes will discuss the identity security challenges presented by shared endpoints, including mobile devices. He will explore how businesses can implement access management strategies that improve security for shared workstations and mobile devices while also delivering fast, secure, and seamless user workflows to ensure that every second of critical work remains productive and secure.
