Overview/Description

This course explores how a DAG (Data Access Governance), a structured data access framework, can reduce the likelihood of data security breaches, and reduce the likelihood of future breaches. Risk and data safety compliance addresses how to identify threats against an organization's digital data assets. You will learn about legal compliance, industry regulations, and compliance with organizational security policies. You will learn how the IAM (identity and access management) relates to users, devices, or software components. Learners will then explore how a PoLP (Principle of Least Privilege) dictates to whom and what permission is given to users to access data. You will learn to create an IAM user and group within AWS (Amazon Web Services), and how to assign file system permissions to a Windows server in accordance with the principle of least privilege. Finally, you will examine how vulnerability assessments are used to identify security weaknesses, and different types of preventative security controls, for example, firewalls or malware scanning.
