Module 1 – Risk Management
In this module, you will learn how to identify and mitigate security risks.
1. Summarize business and industry influences and associated security risks.
• In this topic, you will learn about risk management, emerging business strategies, security
concerns of integrating diverse industries, internal and external influences, and the impact
of de-perimeterization on an organization’s security.
2. Compare and contrast security, privacy policies and procedures based on organizational requirements
• In this topic, you will learn about policy and process life cycle management, supporting legal compliance, common security-related business documents and their requirements, general privacy principles, and developing standard security practice policies.
3. Given a scenario, execute risk mitigation strategies and controls
• In this topic, you will learn how to implement CIA in data categorization, impact-level decisions, and control implementation. You will learn about extreme scenario planning, making risk determinations, translating technical risks into business terms and recommending a risk strategy and management process. You will also learn about continuous process improvement, business continuity planning, IT governance, and enterprise resilience.
4. Analyze risk metric scenarios to secure the enterprise
• In this topic, you will review the effectiveness of, and deconstruct, existing security controls, test and analyze security solutions, compare benchmarks to baselines, interpret
cybersecurity trend data, and use judgment to solve problems.
Module 2 – Enterprise Security Architecture
1. Analyze a scenario and integrate network and security components, concepts and architectures to meet security requirements
• In this topic, you will learn about physical and virtual network and security devices, application- and protocol-aware technologies, advanced network design concepts and
device configuration, and complex network security solutions. You will also learn about software-defined networking, network management tools, security zones and network access control, other network-enabled devices, and critical infrastructure.
2. Analyze a scenario to integrate security controls for host devices to meet security requirements
• In this topic, you will learn about Trust OS, endpoint security, host hardening, boot loader protection, hardware vulnerabilities, and terminal services.
3. Analyze a scenario to integrate security controls for mobile and small form factor devices to meet security requirements
• In this topic, you will learn about enterprise mobility management including security and privacy concerns. You will also learn about wearable technology.
4. Given software vulnerability scenarios, select appropriate security controls
• In this topic, you will learn about application security design considerations, specific application issues, sandboxing and encrypted enclaves, database activity monitoring, web application firewalls, client-side and server-side processing, OS vulnerabilities, and firmware vulnerabilities.
Module 3 – Enterprise Security Operations
