Introduction
Course overview
Security architecture ensures that security is built into systems and infrastructure from the start rather than added later. Good architecture reduces risk and simplifies operations.
This Aractech course covers security architecture frameworks, design principles such as defence in depth and least privilege, reference architectures, identity, network, data and cloud security architecture, architecture reviews and documentation. Participants review and improve a case architecture.
The course suits architects and senior security professionals.
