This course covers systems security engineering and lays a foundation for both exam preparation and security engineering.

1 hour, 48 minutes

Course description

Trust being the key word here: we can build trust into our enterprises, but it requires a good understanding of the basic principles presented in these sessions. Assurance is achieved by incorporating both risk and security management practices into all business processes. Domain 1 focuses on applying, executing and integrating security into the engineering process.

Syllabus

Design trusted systems and networks (TSN)

Video - 00:12:00

Until we take a holistic approach to security, our systems will be vulnerable to compromise. In this video, we discuss the necessity to create both a trusted path and trusted nodes with our enterprise.
Participate in the acquisition process

Video - 00:33:00

It makes little sense to practice security in-house, only to have our efforts thwarted through indifference. In this video, we examine requirements for establishing and maintaining a secure supply chain.
NIST engineering process

Video - 00:29:00

NIST has a long track record of providing guidance on security engineering practices. In this video, we will explore the evolution of NIST security management recommendations.
Security management principles

Video - 00:12:00

Security management covers a broad range of topics. This video introduces you to many areas.
Building trust into systems

Video - 00:12:00

In this video, we address the fundamentals of system security engineering and introduce you to processes and development methodologies used by security engineers.
Introduction, agenda and Domain 1 focus areas

Video - 00:05:00

This short video introduces you to Domain 1 of the ISSEP. Becoming a security engineer entails collecting knowledge of many different practices. In this video, we'll explore many of the principles and practices used by engineers.
