Because account management and access control are fundamental to security, it is vital to understand these technologies as an ethical hacker. In this 6-video course, learners can explore account creation concepts, standard access control models, attribute-based access control, and how to design account and access control. Key concepts covered in this course include learning about account creation, and why how an organization creates and manages accounts is fundamental to security; common attack methodologies; and how to test accounts in a network. Next, you will learn about three fundamental access models that are utilized by a wide range of systems and include mandatory access control (MAC), discretionary access control (DAC), and the most common one, role-based access control (RBAC). Then observe how to implement attributed-based access control (ABAC) and its advantages over standard access control; and learn to design your account and account management processes by selecting one of the three fundamental models to use for a test design for an organization.
