Lifecycle for Beginners
RCCE students will learn the complete identity lifecycle from provisioning through deprovisioning, covering joiner-mover-leaver processes, account creation workflows, role-based access assignments, periodic access recertification, and timely account deactivation. RCCE students will learn to design identity lifecycle automation using identity governance platforms, implement approval workflows for access requests, detect orphaned and dormant accounts, enforce separation of duties, and integrate HR systems with identity providers to ensure access rights accurately reflect current employment status and job responsibilities. Designed for students with no prior experience in this area, this course builds knowledge from the ground up with clear explanations, guided demonstrations, and progressive skill-building. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn core concepts through practical examples that connect theory to real-world security operations. By completion, students will have the foundational knowledge and hands-on confidence needed to contribute in professional cybersecurity roles.
