The path to greater healthcare security and more powerful behavioral analytics will require care providers to make strides with managing, training, governing and monitoring their users. Being able to correlate users with all systems they access is a must, but most care providers struggle with basic identity management.

In fact, statistics indicate that the majority of patient data breaches result from insider threats. The 2017 Verizon Data Breach Report notes that healthcare “…is the only industry where employees are the predominant threat actors in breaches.”
Ultimately, behavioral analytics can provide predictive and preventative insights: Predicting which employees may cause future problems based on past behavior and using those insights to prevent future problems.
