In the post-COVID era, higher education institutions face unprecedented challenges in managing student matriculation and access governance. With IT departments stretched thin and an influx of in-person students, the risk of over-provisioning and compliance violations has skyrocketed. Balancing efficiency with data security and privacy concerns with FERPA, HIPAA, and other regulations has become a critical issue for HigherEd CIOs and IT professionals.
Modern technology offers a solution through automation of student enrollment processes and access reviews. By implementing "touchless" matriculation systems and streamlined user access controls, institutions can significantly reduce the burden on IT resources while enhancing security and compliance. This approach allows for efficient management of student identities across multiple systems, from initial enrollment to graduation or departure
Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, will discuss why student identity management presents an "IAM on steroids" challenge. He will explore how the high turnover of student identities surpasses typical workforce IAM issues, and explain why integrating IAM, GRC, and Line of Business systems is crucial for addressing these unique challenges in higher education.
Greg Wendt, Executive Director Security Solutions at Pathlock, will present practical strategies for achieving automated student matriculation and streamlined access reviews. He will demonstrate how Pathlock's solutions can help higher education institutions reduce security and compliance risks, alleviate IT burdens, and optimize operations in the face of evolving educational landscapes.
