Syllabus
-
- Security Architecture Planning & Design
- This course introduces the fundamental security planning, design, and systems thinking concepts that are used throughout security architecture. As networks and applications grow more complex, the need to identify potential sources of weakness that are a product of that complexity becomes crucial. Students who complete this course will be equipped with the skills to identify and evaluate risks in systems, assess whether or not risks are acceptable, and work alongside stakeholders to prioritize remediation efforts.
- Enterprise Identity and Access Control
- Identity and access control management is fundamental to the security of any organization. This course introduces the fundamentals needed to create and implement access control within an organization. Specifically, this course teaches the fundamentals of managing access control within cloud environments such as AWS. Students who complete this course will be equipped with the skills to design, implement, and enforce access control using different access control models. In doing so, they will be prepared to implement access control that is maintainable and aligns with the principle of least privilege.
- Infrastructure & Network Security Architecture Planning & Design
- This course covers infrastructure and network security concepts essential for designing and implementing secure infrastructure. Complex infrastructures can have multiple moving components connected over a network. A multi-layered security architecture is required to provide complete visibility of system and service behavior. This course covers aspects of architecting and building security alerting and monitoring services that are scalable throughout the enterprise.
- Incident Response & Business Continuity Architecture Planning, Design & Implementation
- This course introduces the fundamental incident response planning, design, and architecture concepts that are used in the cloud. As cloud solutions grow more complex so must the related incident response capabilities. Students who complete this course will be equipped with the skills to plan, design and execute a strong set of foundational cloud incident response capabilities.
