Unit 5 – Lesson 1 – “Data Controls”
4 Days
As students learned in Unit 4, data is a complex topic. This lesson introduces students to controls used for protecting data and begins the dive into more advanced controls explored throughout this unit. First, the focus is on refining student understanding of authentication, authorization, identification, and access control. Students learn about types of access control, including Role Based Access Control (RBAC), Mandatory Access Control (MAC), and Discretionary Access Control (DAC). The lesson concludes with an investigation into where various controls can go wrong with faulty authentication, authorization and/or access control.
