CSSLP 2024: Secure Software Architectures & Frameworks

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. The Secure Software Architecture and Design CSSLP domain focuses on the ability to apply security practices to each phase of the software development life cycle, spanning topics from high-level models like SABSA and the Zachman Framework to cloud computing, VMs, hypervisors, containers, and industrial IoT systems. In this course, you’ll learn how to organize and categorize security architectures, including the Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture (SABSA). Explore various types of distributed computing architectures, the client-server architecture, and peer-to-peer (P2P) networks along with their security challenges. From there, you’ll dive into service-oriented architectures (SOAs), analyze the security benefits of microservices and containers, examine Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), and cover how to prevent Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks. After that, you’ll study the implications of different types of connectivity, location-based services, RFID, NFC, and sensor and mesh networks. You’ll finish with a focus on Embedded Systems and learn the significance of Secure Boot and Secure Memory, Secure Update Mechanisms, and Field-programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). This course prepares learners for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam.
