Today is the first Thursday of May, which means it’s World Password Day. World Password Day is a timely opportunity to remind internet users to evaluate their individual password strengths and best practices. However, in reality, passwords are a significant vulnerability and even the strongest passwords can easily be stolen and compromised.

World Password Day occurs each year on the first Thursday of May. This year, May 7th will mark the occasion. There’s no better time than the present for organizations to assess cyber hygiene best practices for keeping data and devices secure from cyber threats.

From 2009 to today, Identity Automation has provided the market’s most complete Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform. Our hardworking Sales Development Representative (SDR) team makes sure that our solutions are top in prospective customer’s minds. 

At Identity Automation, we put a strong focus on our customer’s needs and strive for continuous innovation and improvement of our solutions. We are proud to announce the latest generation of RapidIdentity and provide our customers with the most in-demand capabilities for today’s evolving IAM challenges.

Recently, we discussed how modern Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables healthcare organizations to reduce risk through security, while also enhancing usability for clinicians. However, there are many, different facets of IAM, spreading across a number of areas and processes in healthcare, and these capabilities are extensive for facilities of all sizes.

While there is no user group that is safe from data breaches, K-12 is particularly vulnerable right now. In North Dakota alone, the state network used by K-12 schools, state universities, and other public agencies experience 5.7 known cyberattacks every month. Data breaches are not uncommon, and districts are limited in the measures they can take due to budget constraints.

I’m excited to announce the launch of the Studio module for RapidIdentity with enhanced Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) capabilities. This new module provides bidirectional ETL capabilities including the transformation, combination, and filtering of data, which has been leveraged for a complete refactoring of RapidIdentity Rostering, a data rostering solution for K12 education.

The K12 world has been given a call to action. With no time to prepare, no playbooks to reference, and the very core of their mandate being challenged, school districts are now faced with the prospect of reshaping their entire educational delivery system overnight.

At Identity Automation, we work hard every day to provide best-in-class solutions that are configurable, flexible, and scalable. Working to coach our employees and customers on our products and services is our Director of Solutions Engineering, Greg Pearson. 

It’s no secret there are high expectations surrounding the healthcare industry, especially today with the state of emergency and fear bound to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Healthcare organizations must take even higher measures to protect patient and staff safety, deliver a high quality of care in an efficient manner, and keep patient records and information secure with adherence to compliance requirements.
