In this lesson

Prepare for the ISC2 CISSP exam, on the 2027 outline. In this lesson: managing access to assets and identities, identification, authentication, authorization, and accounting, MFA, groups and roles, session management, identity proofing, password vaults, just-in-time access, and passwordless authentication with FIDO, WebAuthn, passkeys, and biometrics. Includes three original practice questions.

Preview the topics
  • A clinician signs in with a password, then must also enter a PIN. What kind of authentication is this?
  • Larkspur wants authentication that resists phishing, with no password at all, and synced across each user’s devices. What fits?
  • Two biometric systems are compared. Which measure shows which one is more accurate overall?
