Modernizing Identity Security Ecosystem in Healthcare

This case study outlines the modernization of the identity security ecosystem at a leading academic health system in Georgia. The organization, recognized for its excellence in cancer care, faced challenges due to extensive technical debt and a diverse user base. To enhance user experience and security, the health system adopted the Saviynt Identity Cloud, aiming to streamline workflows and eliminate outdated software. The deployment process was completed in just over six months, integrating key applications like Epic and the core HR platform. This transition allowed for the consolidation of identities onto a single cloud platform, improving visibility and enabling self-audits. The implementation of role-based access controls and privileged access management is planned for the future, enhancing efficiency and security. The organization is already experiencing benefits, including faster access provisioning and cost savings from eliminating legacy software licenses. Overall, this modernization effort aims to balance user experience with robust security measures.
