-: In this section of the course, 2 2
we're going to cover identity and access management solutions. 3 3
Now, as we go through this section of the course, 4 4
we're going to go all the way back to domain one, 5 5
security operations by focusing on objective 1.1. 6 6
Objective 1.1 states 7 7
that you must be able to explain the importance of system 8 8
and network architecture concepts in security operations 9 9
but our focus is going to be on identity 10 10
and access management concepts that are covered 11 11
underneath objective 1.1. 12 12
Now, as we move through this section, 13 13
we're going to start out by discussing the concepts 14 14
of identity and access management, which is known as IAM. 15 15
Next, we're going to cover the use of password policies 16 16
for the security of your systems and networks. 17 17
Then we'll talk about SSO, which is known as single sign-on 18 18
and MFA, which is known as multifactor authentication 19 19
and how both of these can supplement our password policies 20 20
in order for us to increase the security 21 21
of our networks and its associated systems. 22 22
Next, we're going to start out 23 23
by discussing the concept of certificate management 24 24
and then we'll jump into the concept 25 25
of federation within an SSO or single sign-on architecture. 26 26
Next, we're going to discuss privilege management 27 27
with a focus on the use of RBAC, ABAC, and MAC 28 28
as well as the use of manual reviews. 29 29
Then we're going to begin our coverage 30 30
of IAM auditing, monitoring, logging 31 31
and how we can perform all these different functions 32 32
and features inside of our organizations. 33 33
Next, we're going to cover the use of policies, 34 34
such as the acceptable use policies 35 35
to help enforce the proper conduct 36 36
and use of our systems and networks. 37 37
After that, we're going to demonstrate how to conduct account 38 38
and permission audits on a system. 39 39
That way you can verify the correct IAM posture is occurring 40 40
within your organization. 41 41
And finally, we're going to take a short quiz 42 42
to see what you learned during this section 43 43
and we'll review each of those quiz questions fully 44 44
to ensure you can explain 45 45
why the right answers were correct. 46 46
So let's go ahead and get started 47 47
with our coverage of identity 48 48
and access management in this section of the course.
