Security Architecture Design & Review Masterclass

Is it possible to predict what sort of vulnerabilities your software will have? Turns out…there is!

And you don’t even need a crystal ball to pull it off.In this course on security architecture by AppSecEngineer, we’ll show you how to analyze the design & architecture of your apps to figure out where they’re weakest. With that knowledge, you’ll learn how to configure your apps to fix your most deep-seated security problems.

Ideal for: Security Engineer / Product Security Teams

One of the fundamental reasons for vulnerabilities in any given system is owing to its architecture. Architecture flaws leading to security vulnerabilities are not only hard to fix, but end up consuming several development cycles. This results in delays, dissatisfied customers, and worse, vulnerable applications running in production.

Security Architecture Reviews, if done well, can comprehensively address architecture flaws and vulnerabilities resulting from said architecture flaws. This course is a deep-dive into the approach and nuances of performing a security architecture review for distributed systems. The training delves into very specific approaches and playbooks to run Security Architecture/Design Reviews for applications and distributed systems.

The key objective of the training is to enable stakeholders involved in the engineering/architecture to be able to pre-empt architecture flaws that lead to security vulnerabilities and deliver a more secure system to production. The training is replete with hands-on case studies that the students will solve with the instructor to perform a live Security Architecture Review of a given system.

DEFENSE INDUSTRY

“Threat modeling is seriously underrated compared to other security activities that have more visible impact. Fact of the matter is, if you can anticipate and build around potential threats to your software, that’s going to make a much bigger difference than if you set up a million defenses after the fact. These courses taught me how to do that!”
