Access Control:

Course Description

The course provides an in-depth study of the three main security principles: availability, integrity and confidentiality. The course examines mechanisms used to control what resources an entity can access, and the extent of the entity’s capabilities to interact with the resource. The course also examines approaches to auditing how the entity interacts with the resource.

Course Objectives

Learner Outcomes/ Assessments
