Penn’s Identity & Access Management Program

The mission of Penn’s Identity & Access Management (IAM) program is to implement a modern IAM system, providing Penn’s users with simplified, secure access to the University’s vast array of electronic resources and services. The Penn IAM team will work collaboratively with representatives from the Schools and Centers to envision, design, implement, and operate modern, enterprise-class IAM policies, procedures, and technologies. Penn’s IAM program comprises two IAM improvement projects, Penn Community Re-Engineering and Pennpath (Consumer IAM), along with one related initiative, Two-Step Verification. In addition, there was a complementary effort documenting an enterprise-wide Microsoft strategy for Penn delivered in Q2/FY19, which includes a strategic view of the future of IAM as related to Active Directory.

IAM Program Objectives

Following are the objectives of the IAM program:

  • Enable secure academic, research, and administrative collaboration across the University and with peer institutions, partners, and other affiliated organizations
  • Improve end-user experience, including ease of use, privacy, security, and productivity
  • Strengthen Penn’s overall security posture and ability to comply with emerging global regulatory requirements
  • Re-engineer Penn’s capabilities to securely and efficiently leverage cloud-delivered applications and services
  • Enable new business opportunities via secure, simplified user and privilege management for non-traditional learners, online-degree seekers, and other rapidly-growing University populations
