Course Overview

Technical debt in cloud identity and access management is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. Availability targets for access management are commercial commitments, whatever the engineering team calls them. Moving the practice within technology and systems delivery from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Across sectors, teams that rehearse cloud identity and access management outperform teams that only plan it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the technology and systems delivery capability is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme works equally well for those formalising access management for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of cloud identity and access management rather than to abstract argument. The course covers access management at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of technology and systems delivery survives a hostile question.

Expected Learning Outcomes

06

Verify that improvements to access management have held six months after they were introduced.

07

Identify the failure points in cloud identity and access management most likely to cause loss, and control them first.

  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when access management underperforms.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for cloud identity and access management.
  • Close out actions on access management rather than leaving them open indefinitely.

Session 2Designing access management around how it will fail

  • Identify the single points of failure in cloud identity and access management.
  • Define acceptance criteria for access management in advance.
  • Restore a backup of cloud identity and access management in a test environment and time it.

03

Access management: requirements, targets and service levels

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Keeping access management alive after the initial push

  • Confirm the support model and escalation path for cloud identity and access management.
  • Define incident severity levels for access management and the response each triggers.
