Security Evolution Series - Part Two: Zero Trust in Action

Universities and higher education institutions are under pressure to modernise, improve learning processes and optimise technology throughout the full student lifecycle. This is a complex endeavour spanning the application process, student enrollment, post-graduate engagement, alumni & staff integration, and more. 

While budgets remain tight, IT leaders grapple each year with how to provide services and support for existing technologies and systems while planning for change, and funding future needs with limited resources. Hiring and retaining key talent is difficult and likely to remain so in the near future. All of this is underpinned by the need for watertight security.

This showcase will discuss how educational institutions can run more efficiently and improve user experience by: 
• Providing secure and seamless access for employees & corporate services
• Engaging students with seamless, secure access to hybrid learning
• Engaging alumni throughout their careers with life long learning engagement
• Streamlining access for researchers with the ability to translate research into commercial solutions
• Strengthening your global network by providing secure international education

CAUDIT Showcase: Enabling Modern & Secure Identity Solutions for Education

Every team building a web or mobile app faces the same dilemma with every new piece of functionality: build in-house or use out-of-the-box services to make the job easier and faster. And, more often than not, it starts with the fundamental choice of how to provide for authenticated user access.

“Our developers can handle customer identity.” It’s a login box. How hard could it be?

But customer identity and access management is so much more than just the login box. As businesses grow and add features, maintaining a robust homegrown solution is a major drain on resources. Developer hours are a precious resource, and time spent on DIY identity, security and privacy compliance is time taken away from core business innovation.

Join us at our EspreSSO Shot series for an afternoon cup as we explore how Okta's identity solution is adaptable, continuous, and delivered with as little friction as possible so resources and efforts can be laser focused on driving the company vision and offering the best customer experience.

Agenda
- Get back to core innovation and accelerate time-to-market
- Lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of application development
- Reduce the risk of a security and compliance breach
- Keep developers motivated and improve engineering efficiency
- Deliver high scalability and reliability

New Year, New Identity

Everyone knows the fundamental impact that the consumer and SaaS apps explosion has made in how we live and work. It doesn’t matter if you're in the public sector or selling pizzas — for every industry of every size, digital business is just business now.  And underpinning the ability to deliver secure, convenient, and delightful digital experiences is your customers’ digital identity.

The future of the internet will be based on trusted digital relationships as consumers and companies adopt the concept that ‘trust is a two-way street.’  Today’s ubiquitous login boxes, with their user ID and password fields, will be replaced with user-centric systems that favour convenience (without sacrificing security or privacy) and that are built on trust.

Nicholas Tan and Jim Katsos will discuss:
     -  What can companies do to improve customer experience and avoid friction for customers signing up?
     -  How can leaders maximise time and effort building and maintaining multiple in-house identity services?
     -  How can companies develop their applications and move them to a modern architecture?

Okta Insights: Building a world where Identity belongs to you

Every team building a web or mobile app faces the same dilemma when adding new functionality: Should we build it in-house or use out-of-the-box services? And, more often than not, authenticated user access sparks the debate.

For those that opt to build Customer Identity solutions in house, the logic looks like this: Our developers can handle customer identity. It’s a login box. How hard could it be?

But Customer Identity is so much more than just the login box. As businesses grow and add features, maintaining a homegrown solution can be a major drain on resources. Developer time spent on DIY identity, security, and privacy compliance is time taken away from core business innovation.

In this webinar, we will discuss how dev teams can:
Lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of application development
Reduce the risk of a security and compliance breach
Keep developers motivated and improve engineering efficiency

Finding the balance between security and your customer’s digital experience

An average company uses a variety of solutions to help customers tap into its resources safely and appropriately. You might have some tools that allow your consumers to sign in to your digital tools, others that track what users do while they're on your website, and a third set that records the purchases your customers make in-person and online.

A customer identity and access management system, or CIAM, allows you to harness all of the data you have about your customers in one safe, secure spot. 
 
Join this webinar with Jim Katsos, Senior Manager, Solutions Engineering from Okta, to hear the capabilities of a typical CIAM product:

Registration: By registering with your CIAM system, customers can access your website, your apps, your database, and more.

Ease of return: A CIAM system allows for single sign-on (SSO), so a consumer can head almost anywhere with one set of credentials. 

Ongoing conversations: Each time a user does something within your ecosystem, your CIAM solution tracks that. With enough data, you can tailor your marketing content for that person, pushing them into your purchase funnel
