As a security professional, you'll likely have been exposed to the concept of origin authentication. However, in today's modern environment of mobile devices, the Internet of Things, and embedded systems, more robust authentication, authorization, and identity management methods are imperative.
Use this course to comprehend how single and multi-factor authentication, single sign-on (SSO), device authentication, and federated access work. Examine the use of trust relationships between domains and what's meant by Zero Trust. And distinguish between various internetwork connections such as the Internet, intranets, and extranets.
Upon course completion, you'll be able to detail how and why these authentication mechanisms and trust architectures are used. You'll also be one step closer to being prepared to take the (ISC)² Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) 2021 exam.
