Cybersecurity Foundations: Security Architecture

Enterprise Security Architects as well as other cybersecurity and IT professionals are awash with marketing buzzwords and bombarded by security products and services whose functions can be extremely hard to decipher. Cloud, the platformization of IT, and growing market pressures are driving product categories that have partially overlapping functionality and lead to inefficient and potentially ineffective architectures. The reality is that these solutions can be deconstructed and recomposed to rationalize and optimize a cybersecurity architecture if one understands the basic types of cybersecurity functions and their use cases within an enterprise.

This course provides a “building blocks” approach to enterprise security architecture that defines its components and functions in logical ways that can be leveraged throughout an enterprise with all of its data centers, clouds, and networks and incorporating all of its digital use cases.
