CC D3: Access Controls Concepts

Logical Access

Logical Access: The ability to access data or resources based on user credentials, permissions, and other security controls. It is used to control access to sensitive information and systems. Examples include using a username and password to log into a network, requiring two-factor authentication to access a database, and using role-based access controls to restrict […]

Magnetic card reader

Magnetic card reader: A device that reads the information stored on a magnetic strip or magnetic stripe card. It is used in various industries, such as financial services and transportation, to authenticate users and access information. Examples include ATM card readers and credit card swipe machines.

Key-based authentication

Key-based authentication: A method of verifying a user’s identity using cryptographic keys, typically involving a pair of public and private keys. It is used in various security protocols to ensure that access to resources is granted only to authenticated users.

Lattice security model

Lattice security model: A security model that defines access to resources based on a lattice-like structure of security levels and clearance rules. It is used to enforce hierarchical access control and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. Examples of the lattice security model include the Bell-LaPadula and Biba models.

Least privilege

Least privilege: A computer security concept in which a user or program is given the minimum levels of access necessary to complete its tasks. This means granting only the rights or permissions necessary to perform an assigned job function, and no more. This approach helps limit the potential damage that can result from errors, system […]

Limited Maintenance

Limited Maintenance: The practice of providing only essential updates and fixes to a product or system, typically one that is nearing the end of its life cycle. During this stage, changes to the product or system are minimized and are usually focused on addressing critical vulnerabilities or significant operational issues. This practice is usually applied […]

Our Generative AI for Work courses are LIVE!

Generative AI is a tool – it has massive knowledge but zero judgment.

That is why we made the Generative AI for Work short courses.

They aren’t 20-hour theory dumps covering 50 different use cases.

Each course is short and focuses on doing one specific task better: writing emails faster, running better meetings, negotiating salary, preparing for interviews, or planning your career path.

The goal is simple – handle routine work efficiently so you can focus on what only humans can do.

Start using Generative AI as the excellent tool it can be

In the course you get:

Short videos showing you how to get the right responses from Generative AI.

We show prompts that you can tailor to your needs.
We give you the tools to apply what we teach in any related topic, not just our examples.

Live AI role plays, so you can practice 1-1 conversations and feel comfortable with them.

Only in Salary, Interview, and Leadership courses:
• 20 Role Plays in the Salary course (both for new and current salary talks).
• 16 Role Plays in the Interview course, so you can refine your answers to the most common questions.
• 4 Role Plays in the Leadership course, so you can work on your 1-1 talks for both good and not so good talks.

Multiple Downloadable PDFs.

• A course specific handout with what we show you in the videos, and do's and don'ts.
• How to write better prompts for the output you need.
• How to spot mistakes, hallucinations, and how to course correct them.
