Solving identity complexity in higher education: Best practices to address multiple affiliations

In today’s higher education environment, individuals often take on multiple roles—student, employee, researcher, alumni—each with their own unique identity profile. Managing these complex, overlapping personas across siloed systems presents a serious challenge for institutions striving to deliver secure and seamless access. When multiple authoritative sources exist—such as HR systems, student information systems, and research platforms—ensuring accurate identity matching becomes critical. Join us for this informative session where we’ll explore how SailPoint Identity Security helps higher education institutions resolve identity ambiguity using advanced matching techniques and a roles-based approach. Beyond basic attribute matching (like student ID or email), SailPoint leverages contextual criteria—such as name variations, address, and institutional affiliation—using fuzzy logic and cross-referencing strategies to assess identity similarity and reduce duplication or misidentification. Watch a demo showing the benefits gained from a SailPoint Fusion Connector and our SailPoint Access Intelligence center. Key takeaways include: - Real-world customer implementation of identity matching - How removing duplicates can help reduce the attack surface - An understanding of your identity security environment with clear reporting, key performance indicators, and dashboards - Common downstream challenges caused by mismatched or duplicated identities - How a roles-based identity model enhances access control and personalization - How SailPoint’s identity security simplifies multi-persona complexity Whether you're an IT leader, identity architect, or data governance professional, this webinar will provide actionable insights into how a smarter identity strategy can streamline user access, improve security, and support institutional agility.
