Security design principles are crucial while designing any security mechanism for a system. This course will help you gain a better understanding of how these principles help develop a secure system, which prevents security flaws and also blocks unwanted access to it.
Get familiar with security concepts and principles such as defense in depth, least privilege, and zero trust and explore them further with the help of real-world applications and use cases.
After completing this course, you'll be aware of the significance of methodologies for implementing separation of duties, secure defaults, secure failure, and privacy by design while avoiding over-complexity.
