NLU sought to replace its legacy solution and provide students, faculty, and administrators with more secure and frictionless access to institutional data and applications like Office 365, Ellucian Banner and Degree Works, the D2L online learning platform, Zoom, and ServiceNow. A key objective was to provide end-users with flexible multi-factor authentication options as an effective countermeasure against cybercriminals and unauthorized access to accounts. Ultimately, NLU chose to implement PortalGuard IDaaS not only to leverage its enhanced security features but also for the cloud platform’s scalability, redundancy, and cost competitiveness.
