Security Architecture and Engineering
This course is part of CISSP Certified Information Systems Security Professional.
This comprehensive course on Security Architecture and Engineering aligns with the CISSP curriculum, providing in-depth knowledge for building and securing IT environments. You'll explore secure design principles and essential security models like Bell-LaPadula, Biba, and Clark-Wilson to develop a strong foundation in secure system design. The course covers critical implementation techniques including memory protection, encryption methods, and security controls to safeguard data both in motion and at rest. Students will learn to identify and mitigate system-specific vulnerabilities in client-server architectures, databases, cloud environments, and IoT systems, with special attention to emerging technologies like virtualization, containerization, and distributed microservices. The curriculum also includes cryptography fundamentals, PKI implementation, digital signatures, and defense against cryptanalytic attacks. Physical security principles round out the course, covering site design, natural access controls, and facility protection measures.
