Abstract
This course will cover a number of topics centered around the design and implementation of security architectures. The high-level aim of this course is to discuss the appropriate system design choices, primarily at the conceptual/architectural level, which impact the security of an organisation’s information, along with how the business requirements of an organisation can influence the design and implementation of those security architectures. The core components of the course will cover the following topics: Identity Management; Security Models; Cloud Computing; PCI-DSS; Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).
