Access control as a course has given me valuable information that I can apply for daily usage or professional purposes. The skills I have learned in this class have given me an insight into what computer security entails and how to safeguard organizational computer networks. First, I could appreciate the value of safeguarding knowledge and organizational records. This is how it is possible to launch cyber threats and other protection against the particular entity if sensitive information falls into the wrong hands. Consequently, it is necessary to regularize access to information for a limited percentage of the people entrusted to reduce organizational records' security risks.
Through the skills I have learned, I can detect and avoid attacks on access controls through the course's information. The core method of access control includes user authentication, authentication, and subsequent authorization. Since it's self-evident that hackers use the stolen identification, I know that multi-factor authentication is essential to prevent impersonation. I also know that my details are also precious, like credit cards and personal identification numbers. Therefore, to secure them, I must use strong passwords. Before taking this course, I hated that I had to type into login credentials any time I tried to access my accounts. But I could realize that this provision is designed to protect me from malicious hackers.
