Access Controls
Domain 2 will review how access controls and identity and access management work.
Course description
This domain will discuss how organizations implement various controls that aid systems in evaluating the identity of users or other systems attempting to use their systems. The implementation of adequate access controls is imperative to the overall protection of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information systems. This course will walk through how organizations implement and maintain various authentication methods to those systems. We will discuss various techniques used by organizations such as single vs. multi-factor authentication and how single sign-on works.
