Identity and Access Management Project
(Published April 2023)
The Identity and Access Management (IAM) project is a multi-year initiative to replace and modernize Tufts’ IAM infrastructure. The main goals include:
- Provide greater flexibility for administrative and business processes including security/access management and communications.
- Reduce onboarding and account administration challenges.
- Increase personal agency around identity data and updates.
- Design a sustainable solution.

Unexpected Duo Requests
(Published April 24, 2023)
If you receive a DUO push or call that you did not initiate (i.e., you were not attempting to log into a campus system), DO NOT approve it.
What's happening
Tufts has been seeing a significant increase in attempts to compromise user’s accounts. When attackers succeed in finding a user’s ID and password, a DUO prompt is initiated. If you accept the DUO prompt, you will grant the attackers access to your account.
Attackers will often continue trying to log in to the victim’s account with the intention of generating so many Duo prompts that the victim will eventually just approve one.
Learn more about what to do if you receive one of these requests.
