The university chose Thycotic as a part of their larger initiative to make IT functions more cloud-based.

"The IT department at the University of San Diego believes in a cloud-first mentality," said Mike Somerville, Manager of Systems Support and Chief Cloud Evangelist at University of San Diego. "Privileged access of our students' data is going to be safe in Thycotic's cloud and that needed to be transparent for our team.
