00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:09.470
Welcome to Pluralsight in this Security Architecture and

00:00:09.470 --> 00:00:13.170
Engineering Tools course, featuring Squid, the open‑source tool

00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:15.700
developed and maintained by the Squid community.

00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:21.390
Web proxies are ubiquitous in today's world where organizations seek to

00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:24.750
reduce bandwidth and control access to important resources.

00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:26.020
You,

00:00:26.330 --> 00:00:30.290
the cybersecurity professional working with the web, can provide a great

00:00:30.290 --> 00:00:34.500
amount of value to your organization by understanding both the role Squid

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:38.640
plays as a web proxy cache and how Squid can be used to help manage

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.660
authentication and access control.

00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:44.630
Squid is a tool, which, like its namesake,

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:49.350
moves fast by helping to provide a caching layer on top of web servers.

00:00:50.230 --> 00:00:54.200
Its robust access control and authentication mechanisms have played

00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:59.490
an important role in its rise as a web proxy cache. In this course,

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.970
we'll be focusing on Squid in relation to the protect function of the

00:01:03.980 --> 00:01:06.160
NIST cybersecurity framework.

00:01:06.940 --> 00:01:07.890
Specifically,

00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:11.650
we'll be looking at the identity management, authentication, and

00:01:11.660 --> 00:01:18.400
access control category and its subcategory, PR.AC‑4, which ensures

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.640
that access permissions are managed properly.

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:27.020
Come join me, Zachary Bennett, as we learn about Identity Management,

00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:33.660
Authentication, and Access Control with Squid here, at Pluralsight.
