Case Study: Virginia Community College System achieves stronger security and seamless identity management with Identity Automation's RapidIdentity Cloud

Virginia Community College System unifies 23 colleges with Identity Automation

The Virginia Community College System (VCCS) faced significant challenges with a restrictive, custom-built legacy identity and access management system. The system created security vulnerabilities, could not support multi-factor authentication, and made onboarding contractors a convoluted process. Seeking to enhance security and governance across its 23 institutions, VCCS partnered with vendor Identity Automation to implement their RapidIdentity Cloud solution.

Identity Automation's RapidIdentity solution provided automated lifecycle management, comprehensive identity governance, and multi-factor authentication. The results included heightened security, seamless integration across all colleges, and an enhanced user experience with single sign-on access to 235 applications. VCCS also achieved significant automation at scale for its 1.2 million identities and found the solution to be affordably priced for higher education.
