Managing user access during large-scale service transitions without compromising security or continuity
The situation this course is for
As telecom providers modernize legacy communication platforms, security leaders face mounting pressure to ensure secure, frictionless access transitions while maintaining compliance and user trust. Disconnected identity systems and outdated protocols increase risk during migration, yet few frameworks exist to guide strategic oversight at scale.
Who this is for
A senior security or identity governance professional in a telecommunications organization leading access strategy during digital transformation
Who this is not for
Individuals focused on basic email migration tasks or consumer-level support roles
What you walk away with
- Map legacy access dependencies with precision
- Design user-centric identity migration pathways
- Align access governance with Zero Trust principles
- Anticipate compliance requirements in evolving service portfolios
- Lead cross-functional teams through access modernization
