Identity and Access Management

Identity is the new security perimeter. Access can be determined based on a persona, a role, or a user type. Identity and Access Management (IAM), then, is the foundation for access to any secured computer resource and must be handled and managed carefully and deliberately. This course will provide students with the skills they will need to succeed at designing and implementing access control mechanisms on networked systems. The course covers the principles and mechanisms that compose an overall IAM system and is based on modern technology that supports Zero Trust, Federated Identity, Role-based Access Controls (RBAC), and Attribute-based Access Controls (ABAC).
