Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria boosts accessibility with Microsoft Entra ID
Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), a major university in Spain, needed to replace its on-site Active Directory Federation Services with a cloud-based authentication service to protect it from power outages at the university.
In this case study, you'll learn why ULPGC decided to adopt Microsoft Entra ID for identity-based and risk-based adaptive access policies.
Why did Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria move to the cloud?
The university faced incidents with its aging on-premises Active Directory Federation Services, which led to network outages affecting access to essential services. To improve service availability, data security, and reduce infrastructure costs, they decided to move to the cloud and adopted Microsoft Entra ID.
What benefits has Microsoft Entra ID provided?
After adopting Microsoft Entra ID, the university has improved data security, increased access for students and faculty, and simplified identity management across multiple applications. The implementation also introduced multifactor authentication and conditional access, enhancing overall cybersecurity.
How did the migration process to Microsoft Entra ID unfold?
The migration process began with the university working closely with Lanmedia to implement Microsoft Entra ID in a preproduction environment for verification. They then moved high-priority applications to the cloud, establishing a new two-factor authentication portal for users, which significantly increased security during the transition.
