This curriculum spans the design and integration of security architecture across business alignment, identity management, cloud environments, data protection, threat detection, application security, incident resilience, and compliance governance, reflecting the multi-quarter advisory and implementation efforts required to establish enterprise-wide security frameworks in complex, regulated organizations.

Module 1: Defining Security Architecture Strategy and Alignment

  • Selecting enterprise security frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF vs. ISO 27001) based on regulatory exposure and organizational maturity
  • Mapping security architecture initiatives to business unit risk profiles and operational criticality
  • Establishing architecture review boards with representation from legal, IT, and business stakeholders
  • Defining scope boundaries between enterprise architecture and security architecture ownership
  • Integrating security architecture deliverables into enterprise change management processes
  • Documenting architecture decisions in a central repository with version control and audit trails

Module 2: Designing Identity and Access Management (IAM) at Scale

  • Choosing between centralized IAM platforms and federated identity models based on M&A activity and cloud adoption
  • Implementing role-based access control (RBAC) with periodic attestation cycles for compliance reporting
  • Architecting privileged access workflows with just-in-time elevation and session monitoring
  • Integrating legacy system authentication into modern IAM systems using adapter patterns
  • Enforcing multi-factor authentication policies across cloud and on-premises applications
  • Managing identity lifecycle synchronization across HR systems, directories, and cloud providers

Module 3: Securing Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments

  • Standardizing network segmentation models across AWS, Azure, and GCP using consistent tagging and policy enforcement
  • Deploying cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools with automated remediation workflows
  • Architecting secure data egress controls to prevent unauthorized transfers between cloud tenants
  • Implementing consistent encryption key management using hybrid key architectures (HSM + cloud KMS)
  • Defining cloud provider network peering and transit gateway security policies
  • Enforcing infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning in CI/CD pipelines to prevent misconfigurations

Module 4: Data Protection and Classification Frameworks

  • Classifying data assets by sensitivity and jurisdictional requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA)
  • Implementing data loss prevention (DLP) policies at endpoints, email gateways, and cloud storage
  • Designing tokenization or masking strategies for non-production environments
  • Integrating data classification labels into backup and archival systems
  • Enforcing encryption for data at rest and in transit based on classification tiers
  • Auditing access to high-risk data stores with automated alerting on anomalous patterns

Module 5: Security Monitoring and Threat Detection Architecture

  • Consolidating log sources into a centralized SIEM with normalized schema and retention policies
  • Developing detection rules based on MITRE ATT&CK techniques and organization-specific TTPs
  • Integrating EDR telemetry with SOAR platforms for automated triage and response
  • Designing network traffic analysis (NTA) deployment using strategic packet broker placement
  • Establishing threat intelligence sharing agreements with industry ISACs
  • Calibrating alert thresholds to reduce false positives without increasing dwell time

Module 6: Secure Application and API Architecture

  • Embedding security requirements into software development lifecycle (SDLC) gates and sprint planning
  • Implementing API gateways with rate limiting, schema validation, and OAuth2 enforcement
  • Conducting threat modeling for microservices using STRIDE or PASTA methodologies
  • Integrating SAST and DAST tools into CI/CD pipelines with policy-based pass/fail criteria
  • Architecting zero-trust service-to-service communication using mutual TLS and service meshes
  • Managing third-party library risks through software bill of materials (SBOM) generation and vulnerability scanning

Module 7: Incident Response and Resilience Planning

  • Designing playbooks for ransomware, data exfiltration, and supply chain compromise scenarios
  • Architecting isolated forensic workstations and secure evidence storage for incident investigations
  • Establishing contractual SLAs with external forensic and legal support firms
  • Conducting tabletop exercises with executive leadership to validate communication protocols
  • Implementing immutable backups with geographic dispersion and air-gapped recovery options
  • Integrating incident data into architecture reviews to drive control improvements

Module 8: Governance, Risk, and Compliance Integration

  • Mapping technical controls to regulatory requirements using automated compliance matrices
  • Conducting control effectiveness assessments using continuous monitoring tools
  • Managing third-party risk through standardized security questionnaires and technical validation
  • Reporting security posture metrics to board-level stakeholders using risk heat maps
  • Aligning control implementation with audit timelines and evidence collection workflows
  • Updating architecture standards in response to audit findings and regulatory changes
