In this lesson

Prepare for the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) exam, on the 2026 outline. In this lesson: identities and roles, provisioning and access reviews, deprovisioning, and non-human identities like service accounts and AI agents. Includes three original practice questions, with Maplewood Schools, a fictional school district, as the example.

Preview the topics
  • A teacher became an assistant principal two years ago, and still has all the access of a teacher, plus the access of the new role. Which problem is this?
  • A teacher left Maplewood in June, and can still sign in to the grading system in September. Which stage of the identity life cycle failed?
  • A scheduling bot, built for a pilot that ended last year, still has administrator rights, and nobody owns it. What should Maplewood do?
