Every data breach, insider threat and compliance audit comes back to one question: who has access to what, and should they? Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the discipline that answers it. IAM Foundations takes you from the core ideas to the practices modern organizations rely on. You will start with identities, authentication, authorization and least privilege. You will then learn how MFA, single sign-on, RBAC and ABAC work and when to use each. Finally, you will cover governance and modern practices: access lifecycles, separation of duties, privileged access, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect and Zero Trust. Each section ends with a quiz that moves from beginner to difficult. Every question has a detailed explanation that addresses the common misconceptions, so you understand why an answer is right, not just what it is.
