🎓 Is Your University Ready for the Future of IAM? Universities today face a complex challenge: providing seamless digital access to a large number of students, faculty, and staff, wherever they may be and on whatever devices they may use while safeguarding sensitive data and systems. Between the sheer volume of access management requests and ever-escalating and evolving cyber threats, the task is enormous. We recently partnered with a large North American university to conduct a thorough IAM workshop to assess their maturity and determine the right approach to modernization. The comprehensive report we provided gave the university a clear understanding of their IAM gaps and a detailed roadmap for improvement.  👉 Is your university facing the same challenges? ❌ Inconsistent Access Controls: A lack of centralized role management, inconsistent access policies, and challenges with fully implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) that created potential security risks.     ❌ Manual Processes: Manual processes for onboarding, offboarding, and general access management hindered productivity and resulted in long wait times. Delays in time-sensitive tasks such as removing access to systems when a staff member or student leaves increases the risk of unauthorized activity.   ❌ Integration Challenges: Poor integration between systems resulted in tedious workaround and inefficient workflows that hindered productivity.   ❌ Guest Access Issues: Incompatibility between systems and challenges with guest account management created access control issues and poor user experience.  ❌ Limited Visibility: This client had limited visibility into user behavior, particularly in critical systems, which posed significant risks for data governance.  ❌ Diverse User Populations: Managing access for diverse and transient user groups (students, faculty, staff, researchers, alumni, guests) with varying needs and access requirements presented a significant challenge. 🔗 Read more on how we helped this institution solve their challenges here: https://lnkd.in/d48Pvc7Z 🛡 Don’t wait for a costly security breach.

Outdated legacy IAM systems just can’t keep up with the current digital landscape and sophisticated cyberthreats. Legacy solutions struggle with cloud, mobile, and remote workforce demands, leading to access risks, inefficiency, and limited growth and scalability. Why does modernizing legacy IAM solutions impact your business growth? 🌐 Modern IAM solutions offer real-time, context-aware security and greater flexibility. 🔐 Enhanced security reduces access creep, improves role management, and better supports dispersed identities. 💡 Operational benefits include faster deployments and streamlined costs, helping your business grow and adapt to evolving needs. 🔗Read more: https://bit.ly/3BD9a12 🚀 Ready to future-proof your IAM program?
