There are 2 modules in this course
This two-module course prepares IT professionals for the CISSP exam's Security Architecture and Engineering domain while building practical skills for securing modern IT environments. The first module covers foundational security design principles and models including Bell-LaPadula, Biba, and Clark-Wilson, demonstrating how these theoretical frameworks inform secure system design. Students learn to select appropriate security controls, implement memory protections, and leverage Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) to build robust security architectures. The second module expands into system-specific vulnerabilities across various environments including client-server, database, cloud, IoT, industrial control systems, and microservices architectures. This module also provides comprehensive coverage of cryptographic systems, including encryption basics, PKI implementation, digital signatures, and defense against both classic and modern cryptanalytic attacks. The course concludes with physical security considerations, teaching students to design secure facilities and implement appropriate physical controls.
