Zscaler and Imprivata integrate to ensure clinicians can seamlessly and securely authenticate in and out of shared devices, while user actions are logged for traceability and compliance requirements.
Why Zscaler + Imprivata
The healthcare industry is facing a growing ransomware threat. Legacy perimeter- and firewall-based architectures don’t protect against these attacks, and a single workstation can leave your network vulnerable to compromise.
Doctors and nurses constantly log in and out of workstations throughout the day, so ensuring the right users have access to the right applications is critical for cyberthreat protection and regulatory compliance.

Solution details
How it works
The Zscaler and Imprivata integration works as follows:
Secure login
Clinicians use their badges to log into a badge reader on a shared workstation using Imprivata Enterprise Access Management with SSO. This workstation is protected by Zscaler Client Connector™.
Policy enforcement
Imprivata determines which applications a user is authorized to access, and Zscaler enforces those access policies.
Secure logout
When a clinician ‘taps out’ using the badge reader, they are logged off the machine.
Per-profile policy
When a different clinician enters the room and logs in on the same workstation, they will get policies relevant to their user profile.
