Security Architecture and Design
SSDLC, microservices, ZTA
Security Architecture and Design bakes protection into systems from the start. It covers secure design principles, the SSDLC, and patterns like Zero Trust that make security a property of the system, not an afterthought.
Why Security Architecture and Design matters
Secure by design
Threats addressed in design cost a fraction of those patched in production.
Consistent controls
Reference architectures apply the same guardrails across every service.
Reduces implicit trust
Zero Trust patterns verify every request instead of trusting the network.
What you'll practice
Quizzes and spaced repetition keep these sharp, reinforcement not a replacement for deep study.
- Recall core secure-design principles
- Recognize where security fits in the SSDLC
- Tell defense-in-depth from single controls
- Keep Zero Trust architecture concepts fresh
- Spot single points of failure in a design
