About this course

Effective session management is crucial for balancing robust security with efficient user access across your organization. Implementing global session policies that go beyond simple, fixed rules allows you to address diverse user needs and access contexts while strengthening your overall security posture. Move from static, basic approaches to dynamic, context-aware strategies that enhance security without hindering productivity.

  • Configure session lifetime parameters, including maximum duration and idle timeouts.
  • Implement session security controls based on user context, location, and resource sensitivity.
  • Design session-based access policies for differentiated user groups and access scenarios.
  • Establish protocols for monitoring session activity to detect and respond to anomalies.
  • Optimize session behavior to reduce unnecessary re-authentications and improve user experience.
  • Apply location-aware rules to manage access from trusted versus untrusted networks.
