Access Control Concepts

Welcome to course 3 of 5 of this Specialization, Access Control Concepts.

In Course 1, we introduced access control concepts. Now, we will take a more detailed look at the types of access control that every information security professional should be familiar with. We will discuss both physical and logical controls and how they are combined to strengthen the overall security of an organization. This is where we describe who gets access to what, why access is necessary, and how that access is managed.

After completing this course, the participant will be able to: 

Select access controls that are appropriate in a given scenario.

• Relate access control concepts and processes to given scenarios.
• Compare various physical access controls.
• Describe logical access controls.
• Practice the terminology of access controls and review concepts of access controls.
