Inside the Navigate Studio with ECU Health

This year at Navigate Orlando, SailPoint sat down with Nickisha Bennett-Burton, Manager of Identity & Access Management at ECU Health. ECU Health is a mission-driven, 1447-bed health system serving more than 1.4 million people in 29 eastern North Carolina counties.

Nickisha dove into the details of her team’s identity strategy, including: 

• Why identity security is essential to ECU Health
• Why they chose to partner with SailPoint – think EMR integrations!
• How their program has evolved throughout the years
• What they have been able to accomplish
• Advice for peers building an identity security program
• Areas of focus and what’s next in 2025

Identity security is essential to our business at ECU Health because it's critical to the accesses that our providers need to take care of our patients. Their identity allows them to give healthcare to our patients.
