This unit explores cyber security architecture and planning methods, where we will look at common security platforms. We will learn the fundamental approach to designing a modern digital infrastructure architecture with a focus on its cyber security. We will then look at common approaches and platforms, such as layered defence strategies, Zero Trust Architectures (ZTA), Security Access Service Edge (SASE), Cloud Security Access Brokers (CASB), Open Security Architecture (OSA), and their relation to modern concepts such as cloud security (XaaS), network and web security, mobile security, distributed systems security, and software security. Students will gain practical experience in implementing and evaluating incident response methodologies, such as NIST and ACSC's Incident Response Plans.

Learning outcomes

After successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Analyse cyber security architecture including the capabilities and limitations of common security platforms;
2. Implement and evaluate incident response methodologies, including detection, response, recovery, hunting, and monitoring, as well as breach response techniques; and
3. Analyse and evaluate cyber tools and layered security defense strategies for infrastructure security.
