Zero-Trust Approach to Identity lifecycle
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. 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.
