Episode 10: Frontline without Friction: Why Modern Access Management is Essential for Mobile Devices

In today’s fast-paced environments, frontline workers depend on mobile devices to access critical systems, information, and workflows in real time. But without seamless and secure authentication, those same tools can introduce friction, risk, and inefficiency. In this episode of Access Point, James Poulton from Zebra Technologies explores why digital identity is foundational to enabling fast, secure access on shared and mobile devices—without disrupting the flow of work. He also shares his perspective on why integration between devices and identity platforms is helping organizations improve productivity, strengthen security, and support better outcomes across mission-critical industries.

Episode 9: AI Agents at Work: Innovation, Risk, and the Rise of Agentic Identity Management

As organizations deploy autonomous AI agents at scale, identity is rapidly evolving beyond human users. So, too, are the risks. In this episode of Access Point, Preston Broderick from the Imprivata R&D team explores the need for modern identity, governance, and monitoring frameworks that can keep pace with agentic AI. The conversation highlights new, innovative approaches to help organizations securely operationalize AI—balancing innovation with control, visibility, and trust.

Episode 8: Access Reimagined: Securing Every Identity in Modern Care Delivery

Healthcare is entering a new era of identity—one that extends far beyond clinicians logging into workstations. In this episode of Access Point, Joel Vengco, SVP & Chief Information & Digital Officer at Hartford HealthCare, joins us to explore the current challenges healthcare organizations face—from password fatigue and clinician workflow disruption to rising cyber threats and constrained budgets—and how these pressures are reshaping access strategies. Joel shares a forward-looking perspective on passwordless authentication, risk-based access, and the growing role of analytics in understanding and securing identity behavior.

Episode 7: From ViVE to HIMSS: What 2026 Says About the Future of Healthcare IT

What did this year’s ViVE and HIMSS conferences reveal about the future of healthcare IT? From the rise of agentic AI to growing cyber threats, the industry is rethinking how technology, security, and clinical workflows intersect. In this episode of Access Point, Chip and Joel reflect on the biggest takeaways from both conferences and explore why identity and access are essential for secure, AI-enabled healthcare systems.

Episode #6: Beyond Passwords: Fixing Healthcare’s Digital Front Door without Slowing Care

Passwords were never designed for the speed, complexity, or risk profile of modern healthcare—but they still sit at the center of how clinicians and patients access critical systems. In this episode of Access Point, Dr. Sean Kelly, Chief Medical Officer at Imprivata and a practicing emergency room physician, explores why traditional authentication is failing healthcare on two fronts: slowing clinicians at the point of care and weakening confidence in patient identity. Dr. Kelly connects real-world clinical experience with recent industry research to explain how password-based access contributes to workflow friction, clinician burnout, security exposure, and patient identification errors.
