Introduction to Security Engineering

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.
