Overcoming identity sprawl in higher education with an identity-first security strategy

Overcoming identity sprawl in higher education

Decentralized campus IT environments scatter student, faculty, and non-human identities across legacy systems, creating critical security blind spots. This guide shows how an identity-first strategy delivers unified visibility to remediate threats across hybrid campus infrastructure.

What's inside:

  • Visibility across automated risk: While 91% of organizations deploy AI agents (Okta AI at Work), 44% cannot see what those agents are doing (The Times). Learn how to discover and govern human and non-human identities from a single platform.

  • Real-time threat remediation: Replace slow, manual actions with automated workflows that protect research data, FERPA records, and student privacy.

  • Hybrid campus security: Extend Zero Trust controls from modern cloud apps to legacy Student Information Systems (SIS) without disrupting academic freedom.
