CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701)- Domain 3- Security Architecture

This course is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of security architecture and its role in protecting an organization’s information systems. As part of the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) certification, Domain 3 focuses on the principles, frameworks, and components of a robust security architecture. Students will learn how to design, implement, and manage secure infrastructure and environments, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.

Key Topics Covered:

1. Security Design Principles:

   • Understanding fundamental security design principles, such as defense in depth, least privilege, and separation of duties.

   • Applying these principles to the design and implementation of secure systems and networks.

2. Network Architecture and Security:

   • Designing secure network architectures, including segmentation, zoning, and secure topologies.

   • Implementing network security devices and technologies, such as firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and VPNs.

3. Secure System Design:

   • Building secure operating systems and application architectures.

   • Implementing secure coding practices and software development lifecycle (SDLC) principles.

   • Understanding virtualization and cloud security considerations.

4. Identity and Access Management (IAM):

   • Designing and implementing IAM solutions, including authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) mechanisms.

   • Utilizing multifactor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) solutions.

   • Managing identity lifecycle and access controls.

5. Physical Security:

   • Understanding the importance of physical security controls to protect information assets.

   • Implementing physical security measures, such as access controls, surveillance, and environmental controls.

6. Security Models and Frameworks:

   • Exploring various security models, such as Bell-LaPadula, Biba, and Clark-Wilson.

   • Understanding and applying security frameworks and standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, and COBIT.

7. Data Security and Privacy:

   • Implementing data protection mechanisms, including encryption, data masking, and tokenization.

   • Ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations and standards, such as GDPR and CCPA.

8. Security Testing and Assessment:

   • Conducting security assessments, including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and security audits.

   • Interpreting assessment results and applying corrective actions to mitigate identified risks.
