What this is

Identity & Access Management covers the systems and processes that decide who gets access to which resources. You will learn authentication methods, multi-factor authentication, single sign-on protocols, role-based access, privileged access management and the joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle.

It explains concepts and good practice rather than configuring one vendor’s product in depth. It awards no certification and does not promise an identity or security role.

What you will be able to do

  • Compare authentication methods and choose appropriate MFA
  • Explain how SAML, OAuth and OpenID Connect enable single sign-on
  • Design role-based access that follows least privilege
  • Manage the joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle
  • Run a basic access review
