Overview

“Identity and Access Management” is designed for roles such as Information security officers and security managers and Administrators and IT operations teams. In 6 hours you work your way through Role models and authorisation concepts, Joiner-mover-leaver processes and Single sign-on with SAML and OIDC in a structured way – with plenty of practice and time for your questions.

IT security is not purely a technical matter: attacks hit people, processes and systems alike. Our courses cover the organisational side (management systems, standards, contingency planning) as well as the technical side (attack methods, hardening, detection, response). They are aimed at security officers, administrators, developers and business units. Every course combines short expert input with exercises based on realistic scenarios, lab environments and checklists you can apply in your organisation right away. Training is delivered online or on site at a fixed price per participant.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
