In the world of IT security, "Zero Trust" is the buzzword that just won't quit. We’re told to "never trust, always verify," which sounds great on a slide deck. But on a college campus with 30,000 students, 5,000 faculty members, and a rotating door of adjuncts and contractors, "verifying" everything manually is a recipe for a total system standstill.
You’ve invested in the heavy hitters. Whether it’s the governance power of SailPoint, the cloud-native reach of Microsoft Entra ID, or the agility of Okta, you have a world-class Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategy.
Since SB 820 was enacted in September 2019, Texas school districts must adopt cybersecurity policies, designate coordinators, and report breaches to TEA and affected families. Many districts face challenges meeting these requirements at scale, including thousands of devices, hundreds of staff accounts, and a changing student population.
Behind every great university IT department is a legendary, 2,000-line Python script. It was likely written five years ago by a developer who has since moved on to a private-sector DevOps role, and it is currently the only thing syncing your Student Information System (SIS) data with your Jamf Pro environment.
You've invested in Jamf Pro, and for good reason. It's the gold standard for managing Apple devices in Higher Education. Its ability to automate provisioning, enforce security policies, and deploy applications at scale is unparalleled. Understand how Jamf and FusionID make this a reality.
For years, the holy grail of campus IT was Single Sign-On (SSO). One username, one password, access to everything. And thanks to modern Identity & Access Management (IAM) solutions like Okta or RapidIdentity, SSO is largely a solved problem. Logging in is now, thankfully, the easy part.
Identity Debt is the accumulation of dirty, fragmented, and inconsistent user data across disparate systems within your institution. Learn what it is and how to avoid it.
Drawing on emerging guidance from security researchers and lessons from early enterprise adopters, this post outlines a practical framework for deploying OpenClaw safely—one that applies proven IAM principles to govern AI agents before experimentation turns into exposure.
As organizations and individuals rush to deploy these powerful agents, a critical governance gap has emerged: most users are treating OpenClaw like software when they should be treating it like an employee.
[Sept 30, 2025] – Identity Automation, a Jamf company, is pleased to announce that its industry-leading IAM platform, RapidIdentity, has been awarded a transformative contract with The Inter-University Council Purchasing Group (IUC-PG) of Ohio.
Learn how Allen ISD experienced faster provisioning for new users, improved password management, robust risk mitigation, and more using RapidIdentity.
In today’s classrooms, students and teachers rely on digital tools for learning. However, when students struggle to log in or must wait for days or weeks to access learning applications, it disrupts lessons and causes frustration.
