Course Overview:

 
With the increasing growth of the Internet and networks in general being used for business, security is an important issue. A key aspect of business security is controlling which users have access to what resources, and which operations they can perform. The mechanism for controlling these aspects is Access Control. This course examines how to determine appropriate access controls, architecture models, authentication techniques and access methods. It explains access control systems, their differences and implementations and how they protect services and data. This course also demonstrates attack methods used to bypass access control systems and describes account management procedures and key access control concepts. The course guides you through the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) recommended by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2 for its Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) certification.
