Transforming User Experience and Security by Modernizing Identity Management
Cybersecurity Awareness Month Webinar

Tuesday, October 15, 1-2 p.m. on Zoom

Ensuring our all members of the campus community have access to the right resources at the right time is a critical part of securing our campus and digital identities. Join UMass Amherst IT for a conversation featuring Greg Emanuele, Practice Manager-Strategic Security Advisory Team at CDW-G and Mark Cox, AVP of IAM Strategic Advisory Services at Fischer Identity, an IAM leader with 25+ years in higher education.

From claiming your digital identity and accounts, managing your UMass profile and password, to requesting access for the resources that you need and receiving them in a timely fashion, UMass Amherst IT is committed to providing a user experience that enables our UMass Amherst community to be their most effective. We'll discuss how our new partners in identity, Fischer Identity and CDW-G, are transforming and modernizing our IAM processes to not only improve our end user experience, but also secure our campus by ensuring that user access is correct.
