The Identity Leadership Certificate Program
...was a perfect balance between learning about the interdisciplinary research conducted by the Center and the practical application of that information. The ability to network with a diverse group of professionals rounded out the experience for my colleagues and myself. Understanding identity as an asset will continue to shape how we think about these important topics moving forward.

Why You Should Attend
The importance of identity—belonging to an individual, an organization, or a device—has become a critical issue for all aspects of our society. Organizations from almost every market sector imaginable—consumer services, financial services, education, healthcare, energy, military, law enforcement, to name a few—collect Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and use it to uniquely identify people, corporations, government agencies and sometimes devices. With the growth of e-commerce, social networking, online banking, electronic health records, and the increased presence of government agencies online, the issues surrounding identity authentication, authorization, and management are growing quickly, as is the need for professionals trained to address those issues.
