CompTIA Cloud+: Authentication and Authorization in the Cloud

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Cloud resources such as services, applications, and data require various controls to protect them from unauthorized access. Network administrators need to be able to understand the principles of authentication and authorization in order to properly secure an organization’s resources. In this course, you’ll learn about authentication and authorization in the cloud, beginning with cloud authentication models, user authentication, federated authentication, and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). Then you'll explore token-based access, directory-based access, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and OpenID Connect (OIDC). Finally, you’ll delve into OAuth 2.0 access, discretionary access, and audit trails. This course is one of a collection that prepares learners for the CV0-004: CompTIA Cloud+ certification exam.
