This course gives you the tools to manage the unique security considerations of these technologies. First, learn about the security of firmware and hardware device drivers, exploring vulnerabilities and studying famous attacks such as Stuxnet. Then, examine cognitive computing, AR/VR, IIoT, and specific attacks by Triton malware targeting IIoT systems. Next, explore Facilities IIoT and Automotive IIoT, focusing on infrastructure and vehicular systems security. Study famous security breaches, like the 2015 Jeep Cherokee hack, and then move on to robotics and medical devices IIoT. Learn about software-defined production considerations, including digital twins, sensor/actuator networks, and dynamic configuration management. After that, focus on security management interfaces, learning about their key components, such as SIEM and EDR systems. Then, explore the role of Out-of-Band (OOB) Management and log interfaces. Finally, examine application dependencies, assess the impact of protocol design choices and evaluate factors in API protocol design, particularly the choice between stateless and stateful protocols. This course prepares learners for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam.

CSSLP 2024: Digital Certificates, Firewalls, Hypervisors, & Containers
Critical aspects of the internet are powered by a few keystone protocols and technologies including digital certificates, firewalls, virtual machine hypervisors, and containers. In this course, you will learn about the X.509 standard for digital certificates, which are used to secure communications across various applications such as web browsers, email, VPNs, single sign-on (SSO), and code signing. Explore flow control techniques and the role of proxy servers in managing data flow and load balancing, as well as the critical function of firewalls in network security. Discover data loss prevention (DLP) strategies and the role of queuing in flow control. Next, learn about Infrastructure as Code (IaC), virtualization, virtual machines (VMs), bare metal servers, and Type 1 (bare metal) and Type 2 (hosted) hypervisors. Finally, you'll be introduced to containers, container security considerations, and trusted computing techniques like secure and measured boot, remote attestation, sealed storage, and memory curtaining. This course prepares learners for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam.

CSSLP 2024: Databases & Programming Language Environments
Python, Java, and .NET all have elaborate security features built into their runtimes, and so do database and data warehouse technologies we use every day. In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of database security, including the role of encryption and how triggers can automate threat responses. Explore the uses of views in controlling data access and examine secure programming language environments. Analyze security features in the .NET CLR and the JRE, focusing on ASLR, DEP, type checking, and memory security. Then, contrast these with Python and PowerShell and learn about critical security controls in OS kernels, modes of execution, and virtual memory management. Next, discover threat modeling, STRIDE, spoofing, tampering, and the PASTA approach. Learn about attack trees, secure architectural design patterns, security design verification methods, as well as simulations and boundary value analysis. Finally, you'll define non-functional security requirements and discuss CI/CD Pipelines in secure deployment. This course prepares learners for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam.
