Identity management, authentication techniques, single sign-on, and access control monitoring all work together to manage who can enter a company’s systems and what they are allowed to do. They help protect Confidentiality and Integrity, which are part of the CIA Triad.
Identity management uses identification and authorization to assign user accounts and permissions. In the video, the Security Manager creates policies for how accounts should be managed, while the Security Officer follows those policies and sets up accounts for employees.
Authentication techniques use passwords, tokens, or biometrics to prove identity. The Security Manager sets out the rules for strong authentication, and the Security Officer makes sure employees follow them when logging in.
Single sign-on (SSO) supports access control and least privilege by allowing users to log in once and access multiple systems. The Security Manager approves SSO, and the Security Officer configures it correctly.
Access control monitoring uses audit logs and accountability to track user activity. The video showed the Security Officer reviewing logs while the Security Manager decides what actions to take if something looks suspicious.
