Identity and Access Management (IAM) is at the heart of modern security. As organizations adopt cloud services, hybrid environments, and distributed applications, managing identities and enforcing access controls has become increasingly complex — and increasingly critical. Effective IAM reduces the risk of breaches, ensures compliance, and enables seamless user experiences without compromising security.

About the course

This course provides a deep dive into IAM principles, technologies, and best practices. Participants will learn how to design secure authentication and authorization workflows, integrate identity providers, and apply modern standards such as OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and SAML. Through a combination of theory and practical exercises, you will gain the skills to implement IAM solutions that are both secure and user-friendly.
