Identity Management in Higher Education

Introduction

Technology plays a crucial role in the universities and institutions where students, alumni, faculty, and staff depend on high-tech services and tools to study, live, work, and play. As these institutions embrace the Internet for student services, administrative systems, research projects, self-service, and profile management, online security is at a premium.

At the same time, compliance mandates have become more complex and university breaches become more numerous; both which threaten the institution’s assets and brand name.
