Further complicating matters, the healthcare industry is one of the most regulated and scrutinized, adding the spectre of compliance penalties to the potential costs of data compromises and theft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Healthcare providers have therefore begun to seek out IGA solutions to strengthen their identity security posture. According to research giant Gartner, \u201cIGA provides a means to manage diverse and variable workforce constituencies, and to protect sensitive data and resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">James Litton, CEO and Co-Founder of Identity Automation, said in a statement: &#8220;Combining [Identity Automation\u2019s signature solution] RapidIdentity\u2019s automated lifecycle management, federated SSO, governance, privileged access management, and MFA capabilities with HealthCast\u2019s healthcare expertise and best-in-class eSSO solution, enables us to deliver a fully integrated IAM solution that balances usability and security.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">He continued: &#8220;We\u2019re excited to provide hospitals, clinics, physician networks, and healthcare providers of all sizes with a fresh, new option to help them address their unique regulatory, identity lifecycle, and integration challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In a related statement Joan Mehn, President and CEO of HealthCast Inc., said: \u201cJoining forces with Identity Automation is a smart move that aligns with the shift towards solutions that centralize, streamline, and secure access to healthcare records and applications for an increasingly mobile workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Solutions Review named Identity Automation one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/the-32-best-identity-and-access-management-platforms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>32 Best Identity and Access Management Platforms for 2018<\/em><\/a> earlier this month.
