Identity and Access Management: The Big Picture
Identity and access management brings together identification, authentication, authorization, and accounting (IAAA) into a coherent, centralized discipline for securing access to resource...
Identity and access management (IAM) is a wide-ranging set of technologies and concepts that has evolved over many years to become a mainstay security aspect of most organizational infrastructure. This course introduces the core concepts of IAM and explains how they can be implemented into existing infrastructure, alongside the main cloud-based IAM providers. By the end, you should have a solid understanding of the main concepts of identity and access management, plus an overview of solutions currently available for on-premise and cloud-based infrastructure.
Basic familiarity with security concepts and cloud technologies is assumed.
Before looking at the latest IAM technologies, it is necessary to establish a baseline of foundational knowledge. This module defines identity and authentication, defines access control, and explains what is meant by rights and privileges.
