Key information about the Password Security and User Access Control course.

Who is this course for?

It is suitable for staff, managers and professionals who need to understand practical password security, authentication, account management and user access controls in an organisational setting.

What is included in the £49 + VAT price?

The £49 + VAT price includes the complete self-paced course, its knowledge checks and practical activities, and a certificate of completion.

How does this course relate to Cyber Essentials?

User access control is one of the five Cyber Essentials technical control themes. The current requirements address account management, authentication, passwords, passwordless authentication and multi-factor authentication. This course focuses on that area; completing it is not the same as obtaining Cyber Essentials certification.

Does the course cover multi-factor authentication?

Yes. The course addresses multi-factor authentication alongside strong passwords, account management and secure access. Under the current Cyber Essentials requirements, MFA is mandatory for cloud services where it is available.
