About this course
Accessing information is something we all do in our professional and private lives. Regardless of the purpose for accessing this information, the information must be secure and capable of being recovered should a disastrous situation arise. In this course, you will learn about authentication and disaster recovery concepts, beginning with the AAA framework and authentication, authorization, and accounting. Then you'll discover important methods used to protect access to information, including passwords, PINs, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and biometrics. Finally, you'll explore fault tolerance, high availability, and the importance of storage location, contingency planning, and disaster recovery. This course helps prepare learners for the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam, FC0-U61.
