Why Your Higher Education IAM Zero Trust Goals Need Automation

Automation is an Essential Tool in Improving Governance and Cybersecurity for Colleges and Universities

In the world of higher education, the volume of overlapping, fluid identities, and data that colleges and universities have to manage and protect makes identity and access management (IAM) a constant burden. It also makes automation a clear priority for higher education IAM. So why aren’t institutions of higher learning lining up to automate these critical processes?

In many cases, concerns surrounding governance policies and the assumption that schools need to completely clean up their data before implementing automation stand in the way. Yet automated processes are the best tool to expedite the data processing needed to maintain the governance state schools are looking to achieve.

This is just one of the automation misconceptions discovered in the survey of more than 100 higher education leaders by Pulse and Hitachi ID. Automation is even more essential, as more and more organizations set their sites on Zero Trust. Understanding and overcoming common barriers and challenges is a critical step on the road to meeting Zero Trust standards as higher education continues to innovate its processes to achieve IAM success.

What is a Zero Trust Security Model?

Zero Trust is a security concept centered on the belief that organizations should not automatically trust anything inside or outside its perimeters and instead must verify anything and everything trying to connect to its systems before granting access.
