Now that you have formulated your recommendation for authentication, authorization, and access control, you will develop a job aid that the HR managers can take to their departments after the presentation.
This job aid will empower the HR managers to educate their staff on the topics of authentication, authorization, and access control in a simple and effective way to improve the security of their systems. The job aid will be distributed after the presentation.
Develop a short (two- to three-page) job aid that explains the differences between authentication, authorization, and access control using common-sense examples to help the reader understand the differences and the importance of each in protecting the organization’s information. The job aid should address all the items listed below.
- Define—in layman’s terms—authorization, authentication, and access control, and the relationships between them.
- Identify and articulate examples that are easy to comprehend and that would resonate with the company’s leadership.
- Describe the importance of authorization, authentication, and access control to the overall security of the organization. Use details of the company’s products/services and the need to protect them to emphasize the need for strong controls.
