Educational institutions store information about faculty, administrators, students, support staff, and alumni on spreadsheets, human capital management software, student management systems, and other platforms. Collecting and managing data from multiple sources can make identity management very complex. With AD360, user provisioning and modification can be automated by fetching data from various sources, including databases like Oracle and MS SQL, human resource management systems, or a CSV file.
The user roles in educational institutions are dynamic and undergo changes with each passing year, semester, or quarter. Some students graduate and become alumni, some are promoted to the next class, while some may join the institution as teachers or assistants. Users also include guest faculty and students enrolling in online classes. With AD360, IT admins can assign users the appropriate permissions based on their requirements, while enhancing user efficiency and ensuring data security.
Learning is no longer restricted to the classrooms as students and teachers collaborate with each other from anywhere. To achieve this, they require secure access to their own devices, and seamless access to multiple apps for schedules, course content, attendance, and more. With AD360, users are assured of secure access to machine (Windows, macOS, and Linux OS), VPN, and OWA logins with multi-factor authentication. The solution also enables users to access all their applications with one identity by facilitating single sign-on login for all OAuth, OpenID Connect, or SAML-enabled enterprise apps.
In educational institutions, IT admins often spend a considerable amount of their time resolving password-related issues that could be devoted to high-value tasks. With AD360, the end users can be empowered to perform password resets and account unlocks on their own. This eliminates their dependency on IT administrators, reduces unnecessary waiting time, and improves the overall end user experience.
Universities, colleges, and schools store a huge amount of student data that contain their personal details, health history, student records, and so on. These institutions also store sensitive information about their faculty and staff, such as personal data, medical records, and financial data. IT admins can receive alerts in the event of any inappropriate access to sensitive data by leveraging AD360's machine learning capabilities and take immediate remedial action.
As educational institutions deal with a large amount of personal and financial data, it's necessary for them to comply with various data privacy regulations and industry standards for information security and financial transactions. AD360 helps generate audit-ready reports for major international data regulation policies and security standards like GDPR, CCPA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.

Prior to AD360, we had no visibility into our AD infrastructure. Now we’re able to monitor all AD transactions as far as group changes, user creation, security, authentication logs and much more.
