Description

Identity and Access Management (IAM) still remains a significant challenge in Africa and greatly hinders the adoption of trust and identity services.

In this online workshop, we will provide a high-level overview of identity federations from an eduID.africa perspective, a live demo of an open-source Identity and Access Management platform (managed eduID-as-a-service) for RENs and a panel discussion drawn from experiences and ongoing works in the IDM space.

Target Audience: The workshop is open to all and targets CEOs, directors, managers and engineers.
