IT Systems: Identity and Access Management

Intensive 5-day course · English, Arabic & European languages

Security architects, IT planners and risk managers examine the principles of identity and access governance during this five-day course. Delegates study Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), authentication schemes, Single Sign-On (SSO) federation and authorization standards. Practical case studies illustrate identity architectures across cloud computing, banking, border control and healthcare services.

Course overview

The expansion of connected networks and the Internet of Things links physical equipment directly to online services across banking, healthcare, telecommunications and government administration. This connectivity increases vulnerability to severe security threats, industrial espionage and unauthorized access to digital assets. Critical systems require identity assurance and access control to safeguard operational data.

This course presents the architecture framework needed for end-to-end identity and access management. Because modern enterprise environments integrate legacy software with distributed cloud workloads, security teams must deploy safeguards across every operational layer, including Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), One-Time Password (OTP) verification and federated Single Sign-On (SSO) systems. Practitioners evaluate these controls against common operational threats and configuration mistakes.

Case studies examine implementations in public and commercial environments, including electronic passports, national ID registers, mobile banking platforms, SSL server certificates and EMV payment card schemes.

Course objectives

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

  1. Explain the architectural framework of identity and access management alongside the risks of different deployment models
  2. Evaluate mechanisms for strong authentication, including One-Time Password (OTP) systems, digital certificates and device validation
  3. Analyse the operation of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and certification authorities in reducing organisational security risks
  4. Apply access control principles and federation standards including OAuth, OATH, SAML and OpenID to Single Sign-On (SSO) environments
  5. Construct identity management workflows using industry tools and case studies from payment schemes, border management and mobile banking

Target competencies

  • Information security management
  • Public key infrastructure implementation
  • Identification and authentication management
  • Identity Access Management (IAM)
