Acquire the foundations for security engineering. Learn about security principles, cryptography fundamentals, and identity management basics.

This module will cover various topics to help you build the necessary foundation in security engineering. After seeing what a day in the life of a security engineer looks like, we discuss the different principles of security to give you a deeper understanding of the related concepts. We introduce cryptography and how it can solve various security problems. Then we discuss identity and access management-related topics before concluding the module by learning about the information lifecycle.

Security Engineer Intro

What does a day in the life of a security engineer look like?

Security Principles

Learn about the security triad and common security models and principles.

Introduction to Cryptography

Learn about encryption algorithms such as AES, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, hashing, PKI, and TLS.

Identity and Access Management

Learn about identification, authentication, authorisation, accounting, and identity management.

Lock in what you learned with a recap. Earn points and keep your streak.

What are modules?

A learning pathway is made up of modules, and a module is made of bite-sized rooms (think of a room like a mini security lab).
