Case Study: Southern Illinois University Carbondale strengthens security and streamlines access with Fischer Identity

Southern Illinois University Carbondale Access Management Transformation

Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC) needed to modernize its identity and access management environment after dealing with fragmented legacy authentication systems, inconsistent MFA, manual onboarding, and limited IT staff dedicated to identity. To address these security, compliance, and user experience challenges, SIUC partnered with Fischer Identity and used a cloud-hosted Access Management solution on AWS, along with identity governance and administration capabilities.

With Fischer Identity, SIUC implemented a unified authentication framework, expanded MFA, and automated account provisioning and role-based access policies to reduce manual effort and improve consistency across campus. The result was a more secure and resilient IAM environment with fewer security gaps, greater operational efficiency, and a simpler experience for students, faculty, and staff, while also positioning the university to adapt to future cybersecurity demands.
