Future-Proof Your Identity Governance Against Cyberattacks

Achieve Your Digitization or IT Strategy Goals With Bravura Security

Secure Incremental Program Steps With One Platform

Where competing IT priorities and limited resources hang in a delicate balance, you have to invest where you'll see the biggest impact. Digital identity, connecting students and staff to information that builds knowledge, is an opportunity for pivotal efficiency gains but also poses great risk. How do you build cohesive identity access and governance and privileged access management programs that increase your compliance and reduce your cybersecurity risk? How do you onboard and offboard thousands of identities in a matter of days at the start and end of semesters to let teaching and learning begin--but securely?

Simplify the identity and privileged access lifecycle, and a multitude of other unique higher education challenges, with the Bravura Security Fabric. It provides a single platform for core identity access management and governance, user credentials management, privileged access management and group management at a massive scale. It includes best-in-class Federation, Single Sign-on (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to ensure that the people and things requesting access to your data, apps and infrastructure are who they say they are. The singular Bravura Security Fabric enables your IT security team to turn services on as you need them to help you achieve your Digitization or IT Strategy goals more quickly. One platform eliminates the time, cost and effort of implementing multiple products and integrating them together.

With more than twenty years of industry experience, Bravura Security helps institutions modernize their identity and privileged access programs with achievable incremental steps that are the highest visibility, greatest impact and give institutions the biggest bang for their buck. Bravura Security's core automation features help your institution clean up your identity data as you implement, instead of making it a tedious project to complete before getting started, to help expedite your modernization journey and protect your institution.

Why Your Higher Education IAM Zero Trust Goals Need Automation

Automation is an Essential Tool in Improving Governance and Cybersecurity for Colleges and Universities

In the world of higher education, the volume of overlapping, fluid identities, and data that colleges and universities have to manage and protect makes identity and access management (IAM) a constant burden. It also makes automation a clear priority for higher education IAM. So why aren’t institutions of higher learning lining up to automate these critical processes?

In many cases, concerns surrounding governance policies and the assumption that schools need to completely clean up their data before implementing automation stand in the way. Yet automated processes are the best tool to expedite the data processing needed to maintain the governance state schools are looking to achieve.

This is just one of the automation misconceptions discovered in the survey of more than 100 higher education leaders by Pulse and Bravura Security. Automation is even more essential, as more and more organizations set their sites on Zero Trust. Understanding and overcoming common barriers and challenges is a critical step on the road to meeting Zero Trust standards as higher education continues to innovate its processes to achieve IAM success.

What Is a Zero Trust Security Model?

Zero Trust is a security concept centered on the belief that organizations should not automatically trust anything inside or outside its perimeters and instead must verify anything and everything trying to connect to its systems before granting access.

Manage IT Resources More Strategically

Discover What IAM Can Do for Your Educational Institution

Managing digital identity for higher education institutions comes with unique issues. Identity challenges of higher education institutions include:

• Complex user roles: Students may also be employees and vice versa. Robust IAM software solutions for higher education must adapt to these fluid roles to support an accurate security context.
• Lost credentials: The costs associated with replacing lost ID cards go beyond printing a new one. Digital solutions can help lessen these expenses and conform to changing student expectations.
• A sizable database: Today's larger institutions serve a significant number of students. Combining that with faculty, department staff and alums means an extensive database to manage and secure.

With our innovative IAM services for higher education, your institution has campus-wide access and identity management solution for everyone.

Student Identity Management

Provide a digital experience with our IAM software for colleges and universities. Bravura Security Fabric gives you the tools you need to create and manage IDs holistically.

One identity record can handle role-based access for different needs. Support learning endeavors with student-based access to materials, then transition to employee-level access for working hours. Give both roles access to shared resources like the library and cafeteria with one simple platform.

Faculty Identity Management

More higher education institutions are turning to adjuncts and visiting professors to meet critical teaching and budget needs. Bravura Security Fabric can make coordinating these user privileges easier. Our cloud-based solution is entirely scalable, giving you the option to quickly add and retire credentials, even for hundreds of users.

Alumni Identity Management

Your alums population is vital to your institutional culture. From donations to athletic support and mentoring opportunities, you rely on them to help carry out your missions. Yet, once they're off-campus, they no longer have access to the Active Directory that forms the cornerstone of your IT. That reinforces the need for digital identities and solutions that are accessible from any location.

With Bravura Security Fabric, you're prepared to support randomized passwords from an encrypted vault and a user-friendly single sign-on experience. Shielding these sign-ons with automation means a lower risk of credential abuse.

IoT Management

Bravura Security Fabric can protect more than human identity management. Many of today's campuses employ various Internet of Things (IoT) devices, from maintenance sensors to smart door security for dorms. Manage your connected devices' digital identity with our platform to lower cybersecurity risks and promote safe, authorized access to restricted campus areas.
