Introduction to System Security Engineering Course
1 hour, 41 minutes
Course description
Is all engineering created equal? In a sense, yes. Generally speaking, each of the discrete engineering processes we see today evolved from ancient engineering practices. Over 7,000 years ago, humans were defining problem spaces and creating solutions to solve the problems. While our approach today might seem more sophisticated, the core principles still hold true. The object of these discussions is to familiarize you with these engineering practices. The principles and practices presented herein will serve you well for both the certification prep and for building engineering knowledge.
Syllabus
Secure software engineering principles
Video - 00:10:00
While only a subsection of the security engineering process, secure software engineering carries the brunt of the security load in enterprise infrastructure. This video captures those secure software development core tenets.
Core security concepts
Video - 00:08:00
No discussion of security is complete until the core security principles have been addressed. This video addresses the core security principles.
Introduction to cyber-resiliency
Video - 00:10:00
Resiliency can be built into your solutions. In this video, we'll discuss the security engineer's viewpoint of resiliency.
Introduction to Common Criteria (ISO 15408)
