*Previously Information Assurance and Security: Safeguards and Countermeasures*
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the theoretical knowledge required to implement secure design principles using fundamental concepts of security models. This course provides the foundation for understanding security capabilities of information systems when applied to vulnerability mitigation strategies across security architectures, designs, and solution elements. Topics will extend to assessment and mitigation strategies that cover web-based, mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. This course is conceptual in nature and covers examination content delivered through the ISC2 – Certified Information Systems Security Professional.
Objectives
- To introduce the concepts of counter measures and safeguards like remote access controls, firewalls, intrusion detection systems and virtual private networks
Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
• Research, implement and manage engineering processes using secure design principles
• Understand the fundamental concepts of security models (e.g., Biba, Star Model, Bell-LaPadula)
• Select controls based upon systems security requirements
• Understand security capabilities of Information Systems (IS) (e.g., memory protection, Trusted Platform Module (TPM), encryption/decryption)
• Assess and mitigate the vulnerabilities of security architectures, designs, and solution elements
• Select and determine cryptographic solutions
• Understand methods of cryptanalytic attacks
• Apply security principles to site and facility design
• Design site and facility security controls
