Zero-Trust Approach to Access reviews
RCCE students will learn user access review processes including periodic access certification campaigns, manager attestation workflows, entitlement review automation, and segregation of duties enforcement. RCCE students will learn to design access review programs, select appropriate review frequencies based on risk, configure identity governance platforms for automated access certification, investigate inappropriate access findings, calculate rubber-stamping rates, enforce access removal for failed reviews, report access review metrics to compliance stakeholders, and integrate access reviews with joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle processes. This zero-trust course applies modern security principles including least privilege, continuous verification, and explicit trust evaluation. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to implement zero-trust architectures that assume breach and verify every access request regardless of network location. Students build practical zero-trust implementations that align with organizational security modernization goals.
