Identity and access management

- Hi, I'm Mike Chapple. And I'd like to welcome you to our CISSP Identity and Access Management course. The Certified Information Systems Security Professional, or CISSP certification, is the gold standard for information security certification. You'll find that it's a core requirement for many mid and senior level information security positions. Earning the CISSP requires demonstrating that you have sufficient work experience and passing an exam covering the eight domains of information security. This course covers the fifth of those eight domains; identity and access management. 13% of the questions on the CISSP exam come from this domain. I have two decades of experience as an information security professional, and I've been involved in CISSP training and certification for most of those. As we work our way through this course, we'll focus on each topic covered by domain five. We'll review how to control physical and logical access to information and information systems. We'll also cover managing secure identification, authentication, and authorization processes. You'll learn how you can prevent or mitigate access control attacks. And that's just a small sampling of the many topics covered in this course. These topics, combined with the information you learn in our other CISSP courses, will help you pass the CISSP exam and also provide a critical foundation for your career in information security.
