Why Authentication and Authorization Are Different
Cybersecurity concepts can often sound complicated, but many of them are based on simple ideas.

Authentication verifies who you are.
Authorization determines what you are allowed to access.
Understanding the difference between these concepts is essential for anyone working in technology, cybersecurity, risk, or cloud systems.
