Security Architecture and Engineering
Overview
Security Architecture and Engineering is a comprehensive course delving into essential principles and practices of cybersecurity. Participants will explore the fundamentals of secure design, ranging from security models and the selection of appropriate security controls to the identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities. The course also encompasses cryptographic solutions and explore related attacks, as well as secure facility and site design considerations. The learner will also gain insights into managing information systems across their lifecycle, ensuring robust security throughout. This course is ideal for individuals seeking a solid foundation in the strategic and technical aspects of cybersecurity architecture and engineering.
Security Architecture and Engineering Overview
In this overview, we'll introduce the subject of security architecture and engineering, and give you a glimpse into the knowledge and skills this course will provide.

(upbeat music) Welcome and
thanks for joining us for this
overview for the course on
security architecture and
engineering. I'm Sophie Goodwin
and I'll be one of your hosts
for this course. You might see
other people in this chair as
well, depending on the episode,
but whoever's in this chair is
gonna be functioning as a
learner advocate for you,
asking questions along the way
that you might have at home and
hopefully helping you in your
learning journey. I sound like
chat GBT. But over to my right,
I've got Mr. Daniel Lowry.
He's gonna be our subject
matter expert for this course
and teaching us all that we
need to know. Daniel,
I would love to know a
little about you. - Oh yeah,
for sure. Well, I am a chat GTP
avatar. - Yes, you are, AI
generator. - Oh no, I've been
doing IT for a while, but if
I'm doing the math correct
here, I think we're in around
23-ish years. Actually, now
that I'm thinking about it
again, I started my IT career
in 98. - Oh, so longer than
I've been alive. - I'm horrible
at math. I took a hiatus,
I think, there for a minute and
did some other stuff. Yeah,
my first IT job was in 98.
And then I've recently been
focusing for the last about
eight years on cybersecurity
specifically. I've got industry
certs and experience in things
like blue teaming, defensive
mechanisms, as well as security
fundamentals, incident
response, forensics, as well as
even the red team side of
things, offensive security, pen
testing, vulnerability
assessment, you name it.
I've probably done a bit of it
when it comes to security.
-
Like I'm looking at Brian
Johnson's cybersecurity lunch
bag. All the group groups are
represented. - That's right.
- So good to know that we've
got somebody here that's pretty
experienced, pretty
credentialed in this area to
kind of walk us through what it
is that we're gonna be learning
in this course. And
well, since I brought it up,
what are we gonna be learning
in this course? - Oh, a wide
variety of different topics.
I had to actually bring up the
topic list so that we can kind
of hit some of those
highlights. We're gonna go over
things like secure design
principles, security model
fundamentals, which are very
important for us, as well as,
let's see here, information
system security capabilities,
what can happen in there,
evaluate and mitigate security
vulnerabilities. That's a nice
topic for you. It's gonna be
very helpful in real life land.
We've got cryptographic
solutions we're gonna cover, as
well as attacks to crypto
systems. I'll say it that way
because that word is difficult.
A lot of fun to say though, if
you can get it out. We got
secure facility and site design
principles. So when you're
building those sites, what do
you do to keep those secure,
as well as the information
system lifecycle management?
That's another big deal.
-
Those crypt analytic
attacks. It's almost as fun to
say as it is to learn. You'll
just have to watch the course
to find out more about that.
Now, before we do jump into the
course, I wanna wrap up this
overview by just asking you,
this is gonna be, it's
obviously cybersecurity topics,
but cybersecurity is a pretty
broad term. What level should
we be at if we're gonna be
watching this stuff? Is it,
if we're a beginner, is that
cool? Should we maybe have a
little more experience going
into this? - Yeah, good news
for those of you that are
watching out there. This course
is very wide and broad, but
it's not very deep.
So if you are familiar with
computer systems, you literally
could be a total noob at this.
And that's totally fine.
And you're like, you know what?
I wanna learn a little bit more
about security. You could
definitely jump into this
course and watch. But if you do
have a bit of fundamentals
under your belt, you'll still
probably learn a thing or two
about a thing or two. So
anybody that's new to security,
but not necessarily new to
technology in general, should
have a decent time with this.
- That's good to
know. I've been noticed a
couple of years I've been
learning from you and others in
the last couple of years,
but even so, I am still kind of
a noob in some of these topics,
especially when we get into the
crypto type stuff. It's all new
to me. - We all start there.
-
We all start somewhere,
right? And we only get better
by learning. So hopefully
that's what we're about to do.
I'm looking forward to getting
into this course with you,
Daniel, but thanks for giving
us a heads up as to what we can
expect. Thank you for joining
us and we will see you in the
course. (upbeat music)
