The retail landscape is changing quickly and evolving like never before. Internet and multi-channel retailing have completely altered the way people shop and do business today. Retail IT Departments are now charged with managing higher volumes of employees and customer access requests. Identity management is here to help those understaffed IT departments keep up with the flood. Here's how:

Most college students use technology on a daily (if not hourly basis), and view it as an essential tool. Students use technology to complete a variety of tasks, especially in relation to coursework, such as research and turning in homework. Modern students expect their school’s technology to integrate seamlessly into their lives and make the learning experience easier. And that’s just the average college student; budding engineers and technological geniuses expect their college to provide them with up-to-date hardware and software solutions.

“Build up your weaknesses until they become your strong points.” - Knute Rockne, legendary Notre Dame football coach.

Since joining Identity Automation in 2011, I’ve seen the company grow significantly and embrace major technological change. From consulting to software development and from implementation to support, we’ve evolved into what we are today - a  leader in identity and access management for education, K-12 and Higher Education.

School’s back in session. With the influx of new students, returning teachers and temporary staff coming back online, requests for account creations, resource partitioning and call support elicit groans across countless IT departments.

Last month, Identity Automation sponsored the South Texas Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) Luncheon in Houston, TX, and it was a huge success!

Last week, Adobe issued an emergency security patch fixing a critical flaw in its Flash Player that could allow a remote hacker to take complete control of Windows, Mac and Linux computers.

After Houston SecureWorld, we hit the pavement again and headed for IT Summit 2015 in Houston last week. We found that our mission to educate enterprises and education institutions about the dangers of rogue employees is also the war cry of others! 

Last week, a couple of us on the Identity Automation team attendedHouston SecureWorld 2015 courtesy of a special invite from the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA). Many thanks to our friends at ISSA for the opportunity to serve on their behalf.
