Identity & Access Management

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a framework that ensures the right people have the right access to the right resources—securely and efficiently. IAM simplifies how users log in, manage credentials, and access systems while protecting sensitive data from unauthorized use.

Why Does IAM Matter?

• Stronger Security - Protects accounts by enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) and access controls.
• Simplified Access - Reduces login complexity with single sign-on (SSO) and automated permissions.
• Improved Compliance - Ensures access follows security policies and industry standards.
• Better User Experience - Minimizes password fatigue and streamlines workflows.

By implementing IAM, Villanova enhances security, efficiency, and user convenience, creating a seamless and secure digital experience for faculty, staff, and students.
