The driver: Increasing security and healthcare compliance 
The need for governing identities in healthcare is driven by increased regulations, stiffer fines, and insider data breaches. According to the Ponemon Institute, the cost of a healthcare data breach is $408 per patient record – a staggering number, especially because 71% of healthcare users have access to data they shouldn’t see.
