What's IAM at the U? and maybe drone updates
This presentation details how enterprise cybersecurity teams can apply Identity & Access Management (IAM) to secure connected drone fleets, ground control stations, and flight data pipelines. It outlines a Zero-Trust approach using PKI digital certificates for cryptographic device identification, signed firmware updates, and spoof-resistant Remote ID broadcasts. By enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) across ground control software, organizations can ensure only certified operators execute flights or access sensitive payload data. Finally, the briefing covers integration with corporate Identity Providers (e.g., Entra ID, Okta) to maintain centralized audit logs, satisfy NDAA/NIST compliance standards, and enable instant access revocation in the event of a compromised device. Or just what UofU IAM team really does every day :). and drone updates
