Lunch Symposium
12:05 – 1:10 pm

Topic: Agentic Identities in Healthcare: Accelerating and Improving Care Without Compromising Security

Speaker: Travis Favaron, Imprivata Vice President of Product Management, and Dr. Sean Kelly, Imprivata Chief Medical Officer

Description: AI agents could reduce administrative burden, streamline clinical workflows, and give care teams more time with patients. Though, unlike traditional AI assistants, Agentic Agents can access systems, use sensitive data, make decisions, and take action—sometimes across multiple applications and workflows. The promise is enormous for care providers and patients BUT this autonomy creates new risks. Unlocking the value of agentic AI requires intelligent oversight and responsible governance. This interactive session will explore clinical and cybersecurity perspectives on where agents can deliver meaningful near-term value while ensuring agentic identities are governed and managed responsibly. Clinical leaders will leave with practical questions to ask before allowing an agent into a care workflow. Security and technology leaders will gain a framework for ensuring agent access remains limited, visible, auditable, and immediately revocable.
