Collaboration Success Program 2023 - all participants

[Laura Paglione <>]

This Week at CSP February 8, 2022

Important Now

At this week’s Office Hours we will have another Topic Talk - this time about Authentication Stories. Authentication can be an area of evolution and complexity. There are a significant number of tools and techniques to navigate for authentication, MFA, and proxying. But, with evolution, there is opportunity to employ creativity in what authentication policies are developed and how they are deployed.  Here we will open the floor for open sharing of what folks have tried, what worked and what didn’t, and gain peer insights.

We will follow the open discussion with intros of three more of the InCommon Catalyst Partners, Cirrus Identity, RDCT, and ProvisionIAM.

What you should be thinking about right now:

• INTRODUCTION REQUESTS: We continue to look for your requests to introduce you to the people and resources that you uniquely need to make your plans sing. Laura will be your first point of contact for these connections.

• CHECK-IN CALLS: Many of you have reached out for introduction requests. For those who haven’t yet, we will be reaching out to schedule a check-in call to see how things are going. The purpose of these calls is for us to provide a forum for further exploring how you might leverage CSP resources to further your work. If we don’t contact you and you’d like to schedule a check-in call, please let Laura know!!
