This course covers two of the most operationally important domains in the Security+ curriculum: physical security and identity and account management. Covering approximately 4 hours of expert instruction, learners develop the skills to control physical access to systems and facilities, and to implement robust identity and access management solutions. Learners benefit by understanding how to design and evaluate physical security controls, implement multi-factor authentication, manage user accounts and privileges, and apply zero-trust principles to identity-based access decisions. Online labs reinforce MFA configuration, account management, and access control implementation tasks. By the end of this course, learners will be able to design physical security systems and implement identity management solutions that protect enterprise resources from both physical and logical threats.
