This module covers the fundamental concepts of controlling both physical and logical access in an organization, with a focus on different types of access controls and identity lifecycle management. Learners will explore how to manage user groups and roles, implement authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA), and ensure secure session management. Additionally, key concepts around identity registration and proofing, as well as Federated Identity Management (FIM), will be covered. By the end of this module, learners will have a strong grasp of essential IAM components and how to control access to critical assets.

This module focuses on advanced IAM concepts, including various access control models, provisioning and deprovisioning processes, and protocols for secure authentication. Learners will examine models like Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Mandatory Access Control (MAC), and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC). The module will also cover key IAM protocols such as OAuth, OpenID, SAML, and Kerberos, which are vital for secure authentication and authorization across networks. Additionally, it will explore methods for access policy enforcement and account access review in complex IT environments.
