Course Content
The course content focuses on the core components of Identity and Access Management (IAM). Key topics include Identity Lifecycle Management (user account provisioning and deprovisioning), Single Sign-On (SSO) mechanisms, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) implementations. Furthermore, identity infrastructure technologies such as access control models (RBAC - Role-Based Access Control), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and directory services (Active Directory, LDAP) are examined in detail. The content is rounded out with the application of authorization policies and access auditing processes.
Objectives of the Course
The primary goal of the "Identity and Access Management (IAM)" course is to teach students the principles of managing digital identities and granting users the minimum access rights necessary for the resources they require, which is key to securing modern enterprise IT systems. This course aims to equip students with the skills to establish, manage, and audit the centralized authentication and authorization mechanisms needed to prevent security breaches and maintain regulatory compliance (such as KVKK/GDPR).
