As technology ecosystems become more complex, Security Architecture and Engineering plays a critical role in ensuring the resilience of IT infrastructures against evolving cyber threats. Security architects and engineers must design, implement, and maintain robust security frameworks, cryptographic protocols, secure network architectures, and proactive threat mitigation strategies. By integrating industry-leading security standards such as NIST, ISO/IEC 27001, and COBIT, organizations can build secure, scalable, and compliant IT environments.
This Security Architecture and Engineering course provides professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to develop secure IT systems, conduct risk assessments, apply cryptographic techniques, implement security controls, and integrate advanced security frameworks such as Zero Trust and DevSecOps. Participants will explore threat modeling, encryption strategies, system hardening, incident response, and security audits, equipping them with the expertise to design and manage secure IT architectures effectively.
Course Outline
Foundations of Security Architecture
