CVF 2073 - Identity Security and Access Management II

Credits: 3
Hours/Week:
Course Description: This course builds on topics in CVF 1073, Identity Security & Access Management I. It provides students with comprehensive and advanced steps necessary to design, install, configure, operate, and maintain a secured IAM solution.
Students will have the opportunity to design, install, configure, and operate during hands-on lab activities such as Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA), Identity as a service (IDaaS), SaaS-based IAM offerings, SSO using SAML or OIDC, Identity Access Governance (IGA), LDAP in *nix/Windows/Mac, Intelligence: Intelligence: Identity access log monitoring and reporting, User behaviors analytics.
This course employs both “open source technology” (*nix) and “commercial technology” (Splunk), Cloudera, ATA, Tableau.
