CISSP 2024: Secure Design Principles & Models

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. For the CISSP exam, one must be able to understand a variety of security design principles and practices. The topics in this course cover the following Domain 3 objectives: research, implement, and manage engineering processes using secure design principles and understand the fundamental concepts of security models. Begin by exploring the importance of least privilege and defense in depth to create multi-layered security defenses and restrict access to sensitive information. You will then look at concepts of segregation of duties (SOD), keeping it simple and small, and privacy by default and design. Next, you will consider how the shared responsibility model is crucial for participants to grasp the roles and accountability in cloud and collaborative environments. You will also explore threat modeling techniques to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential security threats. Finally, you will compare zero trust vs. trust, explore the secure access service edge (SASE) framework, and consider the fundamental concepts of security models such as Bell-LaPadula, Biba, Star, and Clark-Wilson. This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.
