Cyber Security Architecture Fundamentals

Learn all the fundamentals and skills needed to become a security architect

What you'll learn

Understand the core concepts of security architecture

Develop and design security patterns

Work with Enterprise Architecture Frameworks

Properly run threat modelling

Requirements

Some knowledge of Cyber Security is required

Description

In this course, students will learn about the principles, concepts, and best practices of designing and implementing effective cyber security architectures. The course will cover a wide range of topics, including threat modeling, risk assessment, security design patterns, access control, cryptography, network security, cloud security, and incident response.Overview of Cyber Security ArchitectureThe course will begin with an overview of the fundamental concepts of cyber security architecture, and will then delve into the specifics of how to design and implement effective security solutions. Students will learn how to identify and assess security risks, and how to develop and apply appropriate security controls to mitigate those risks.Designing Effective Security SolutionsThroughout the course, students will also explore various security design patterns and strategies, and learn how to apply these to real-world security challenges. Additionally, students will gain hands-on experience with a range of security tools and technologies, and will develop practical skills in threat modeling, risk assessment, security testing, and incident response.Course Goals and Learning OutcomesBy the end of this course, students will have a deep understanding of the principles and best practices of cyber security architecture, and will be well-equipped to design, implement, and manage effective security solutions for a wide range of applications and environments.PrerequisitesThis course assumes a basic understanding of networking concepts and protocols, as well as some experience with programming and scripting languages. Students should also have some familiarity with common security tools and technologies, such as firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and vulnerability scanners.
