Security by Design

Discover the importance of being Secure by Design with RMIT University

In a digital world where cyber attacks are increasing, Security by Design is crucial in helping to make systems as secure as possible.

On this four-week course from RMIT University, you’ll gain the tools and knowledge to design, develop, and realise online products and services with security at their core.

You’ll master Security by Design principles and learn why security is an important and beneficial aspect of online product and service design and development.

Unpack the CIA triad

With a baseline understanding of the need for security established, you’ll then become familiar with the key security principles and their applications.

You’ll discover the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) triad, the human-centric security design U3 (user, usage, and usability) concept, and more.

Armed with this knowledge, you’ll be able to identify strategies to implement security in the design of online products and services.

Explore the security threats within the Internet of Things (IoT)

You’ll delve into IoT and the growth of IoT devices to grasp the intricacies of their security and privacy concerns.

This will help you unpack the unique challenges tied to crafting secure IoT applications.

Learn how to embed Security by Design into your organisation

Finally, you’ll learn how to translate your newfound expertise into action within your professional context.

You’ll discover how you can embed Security by Design into the culture, leadership, and practices of your organisation.

By the end, you’ll know how companies can minimise online threats through their design and development as well as by anticipating, detecting, and eliminating security threats before they occur.
