What critical trends will shape IAM in 2025? InCommon Catalysts come together to share their predictions and insights on four critical areas of focus set to reshape identity management for R&E: AI-powered IAM operations, CACTI’s (Community Architecture Committee for Trust and Identity) work around OpenID Federation, the power of proxies, and essential lessons learned from higher education C-suite leaders. These experts will explore what these trends mean for your institution and their importance in the coming year.

Join leaders from Provision IAM, Instrumental ID, OmniBond, Unicon, Cirrus Identity, and Evolveum as they share insights on these critical developments and their implications for research and education institutions. Whether you’re evaluating AI capabilities, preparing for evolving federation standards, bringing new technologies into an existing environment with proxies, or seeking to better align IAM with institutional priorities, this discussion will provide valuable insights for your 2025 planning.

The NET+ AWS program is opening its quarterly Town Hall meeting to the entire community beginning with the Jan. 15 webinar at 11 a.m. PT and 2 p.m. ET. This presentation is for those responsible for enterprise IT, security and compliance, research IT, research computing and data professionals, researchers, and those who support researchers using, collecting, analyzing, and sharing genomic and biomedical research data.

The growth of genomic and biomedical research has led to an exponential increase in the amount of genomic data being generated. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has updated its requirement for responsible management of controlled access human genomic and phenotypic data to align with the NIST SP 800-171 security standard, a comprehensive framework for securing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

The update takes effect on Jan 25, 2025, and institutions that don’t comply with these requirements could face significant consequences. In this presentation you will learn about how AWS can help institutions build a compliant environment to meet these requirements through its Secure Research Environment, and the resources and support AWS provides for institutions along their compliance journey.

Time: 1:00 p.m. EST
Speakers:

• Ann West, Associate Vice President, Trust & Identity, Internet2
• Kevin Morooney, Vice President for Trust and Identity and NET+ Services, Internet2
• Steve Zoppi, Associate Vice President for Trust and Identity and NET+ Services, Internet2
