Interested in learning about the major concepts and terms of identity management, why it's important, and how the data flows from source systems to applications? If you are new to this topic or would like an overall map of where the pieces fit at an institutional level, consider registering for this non-technical preworkshop seminar.

This session will include overviews of the:

  • What is digital identity?
  • What is the identity life cycle?
  • What are the primary reasons for implementing identity-related services?
