Identity Under Pressure: Securing Access in Resource-Constrained Hospitals
Quarterly Meeting Series
Identity has become healthcare’s primary attack surface.
Community hospitals are facing escalating credential harvesting campaigns, help desk impersonation attempts, and increasing pressure on privileged accounts often without the staffing depth or tooling found in larger systems.
This session will focus on how community hospitals can realistically strengthen identity security without overwhelming already stretched teams.
We will discuss:
- Practical identity governance in lean environments
- MFA hardening and conditional access strategies
- Help desk validation workflows to reduce impersonation risk
- Planning for assumed credential compromise
- Reducing administrative burden while improving control strength
This discussion prioritizes operational clarity over theory. Participants will leave with practical considerations they can apply immediately.

Together, they will explore how community hospitals can validate identity controls under real-world threat conditions and design access security that holds under pressure.
Open discussion is encouraged. Bring your challenges and learn how peers are addressing identity risk in constrained environments.
