Campus Security and Identity Management in a Banner World Aaron Perry November 23, 2009
Agenda • What is Identity Management? • What we typically see in Higher Education institutions • Challenges faced by Higher Education Institutions • IAM Business Drivers & Benefits • Higher Education IAM Architecture • Banner IdM Case Studies • Q&A
Setting the Stage… • What is Identity Management? • A set of processes and a supporting infrastructure for the creation, maintenance, and use of digital identity • - 80% process • - 20% supporting infrastructure • Keys to successful implementation… • Support and involvement at all levels (Provost, Registrar, Dean, CIO, Process Owners, System Administrators, etc.) • Governance and the authority to enact decisions • Identification and Management of “Sources of Truth”
IAM Solutions Address Top Issues faced by Higher Education Institutions • IAM can improve security, reduce costs, and protect privacy • Security breaches / business disruptions • Operating costs / budgets • Data protection / privacy • Large and growing number of Institutions have experienced IT Security “Breaches” in last 12 months. • Unauthorized access to sensitive institutional data • Research database hacked • Breaches of Student & Faculty SSN’s • Breaches of PII Information
More breaches than ever… 630% Increase Data Breach Once exposed, the data is out there – the bell can’t be un-rung PUBLICLY REPORTED DATA BREACHES Total Personally Identifying Information Records Exposed (Millions) Average cost of a data breach $202 per record Average total cost exceeds $6.6 million per breach Source: DataLossDB, Ponemon Institute, 2009
More threats than ever… 70% attacks originate inside the firewall 90% attacks perpetrated by employees with privileged access
Q & A To what extent is your institution considering or implementing an identity and access management solution? • Not considering • Currently evaluating • Planned, but won’t start within the next 12 months • Plan to start within the next 12 months • Implementation is in progress • Partially operational • Fully operational

2008 EDUCAUSE Current Issue Survey Ranking from All Institutions on Potential to Become More Significant • Identity/access management (2) • Security (1) • Funding IT (3) • Disaster recovery/business continuity (4) • Administrative/ERP/information systems (5) • Infrastructure (8) 2007 ranking in parentheses
Challenges and Issues Typical HE Challenges and Issues • Supportability • Administration performed both centrally and locally • Manual, paper-driven processes work, but lack audit ability • IT staff is stretched, especially as new projects are defined and started • Infrastructure support team has a wide range of responsibility with limited means • Data • No single view of identity data across applications • Inconsistent user identity data • Multiple repositories of user identity data • Lack of defined standards for user attributes • Many identity owners & sources • Growth • Use of web-based applications continues to grow • Increasing demands for new services • Need to support within current spending levels • Affiliate community is always growing • Institutional Culture • Priorities may vary on a per school or campus basis • Varied and complex user populations • Many institutions “bend over backwards” to provide the highest levels of service to their students 11
Typical Higher Education Reference Architecture – General View
IAM Business Drivers • Business Facilitation • Improve productivity through streamlined, automated processes and efficient provisioning and de-provisioning of user accounts. • Enable efficient deployment of new system-wide applications and services in a manner that provides ease of use for all constituents through use of standards and automation. • Cost Containment • Efficiently managing the growing number of users and network-accessible resources by streamlining and centralizing business processes in support of new users, end-user transfers/job changes, and user disablement. • Reduce errors and the time required to manually administer user accounts and resources through automation of tasks. • Security Effectiveness and IT Risk • Improve security and support high levels of security and privacy appropriate to specific systems and services. • Improve system audit ability and access management to ensure compliance with Federal, state, Department of Education and university regulations. • Improve audit readiness via a central audit log of accounts and privileges, as well as reporting and auditing capabilities. • Create effective monitoring and control over identity-related processes to ensure policies and practices are adhered to and security policies are consistently followed.
IAM Deployment Benefits • Solid Identity Management infrastructure built on standards that can serve as the platform for supporting all future identity management services • Automated provisioning and identity origination • Clean identity data with processes in place to prevent re-corruption • Elimination of the use of SSN as the primary unique identifier for all end users • Enterprise-level auditing with ability to track events across the entire institution • Drastic reduction of risk as it relates to provisioning users to new services and the protection of those services due to all provisioning and access control events being audited • Drastic reduction of cost and overhead due to further automation of manual administration process and introduction of delegated administration models enterprise-wide • Self-service services benefit the user by offering the ability to update information from a central location for use throughout the enterprise • Reduction of costs associated with manual provisioning and manual data cleansing processes
