Recently, we discussed delegated administration, a robust tenet of modern Identity and Access Management (IAM).

The amount of coverage and attention the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) received leading up to May 2018 was intense to say the least. But even now, more than a year since that date has come and gone, organizations across the world are still either unsure or mistaken about whether they are compliant—and how to become so.

As learning environments steadily move toward digital curriculum, protecting student data privacy becomes more and more critical.

Each year, the United States hosts over a million foreign students. And for the schools they attend, this often means complying with rules and regulations that these students bring with them from their home countries. 

The mergers & acquisitions (M&A) market is red hot, and there is a good chance your company will be involved in an M&A at some point in your career. The work that it takes to pull off a successful M&A, however, can be staggering, and 70-90 percent end up being considered abysmal failures.

Delivering an optimal student and alumni experience is top requirement for CIOs at higher education institutions. More and more, this puts pressure on them to provide an optimal digital experience, as technology and cloud resources continue to play a growing role on college campuses.

Healthcare mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are happening more frequently than ever. In fact, 2017 was a banner year for M&As, with 115 transactions, including 10 deals between hospitals with a net revenue of over $1 billion—the highest number in recent history.

Today, institutions of higher education face a dizzying array of regulations. These regulations increasingly force colleges and universities to adopt stronger security measures as they combat more and more cybersecurity threats. Many of these regulations mandate two-factor authentication (2FA) to ensure that the right person is accessing sensitive information.
