Test Structure
Section 1
Identity Management involves managing the lifecycle of user identities, including their creation, maintenance, and removal across an organization’s network. It ensures that the right individuals have the right access to the right resources, while maintaining security and compliance. Key processes in Identity Management include authentication, authorization, user provisioning, and account deactivation. The goal is to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and ensure regulatory compliance by establishing strict controls over who can access sensitive systems and data.
Section 2
Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user, device, or system to ensure that they are who they claim to be before granting access to resources. This domain covers the methods and technologies used in authentication, such as passwords, biometrics, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and Single Sign-On (SSO). Understanding authentication protocols, secure implementation, and potential vulnerabilities is essential for establishing a strong IAM framework.
