Multifactor Authentication in Higher Education

The classic case for multifactor authentication is the need for 
higher-assurance authentication for transactions that expose the institution 
to significant risk. Another driver is the desire of some end-users and 
system administrators to self-select for heightened security. The U.S. 
Department of Education plans to require two-factor authentication for assets 
that are part of the Federal Student Aid program. Join us for an overview on 
the topic and participate in a discussion of business drivers, technology 
options, potential barriers, and current implementations of multifactor 
authentication.
