Identity and Access Management (IAM) is at the heart of keeping your students, faculty, and staff connected to the services they need—safely and seamlessly. But let’s be honest: IAM comes with its own language. Authentication, authorization, provisioning, de-provisioning, bilateral and multilateral federation—there’s a lot to unpack, and we’re here to explore it together.
We’re excited to announce that for the third year, MS-CC and Cirrus are offering a free, four-part virtual training series on IAM fundamentals. We’ll place special emphasis on multilateral federation—a cornerstone of trusted collaboration across research and education that continues to grow into more of a necessity than simply a nice to have.
Whether you’re new to IAM or looking to deepen your understanding, this is an opportunity to build knowledge alongside colleagues who share your commitment to serving their institutions. Join us!
New this year, we are providing participants a badge of completion upon attending all four sessions in the series.
