This module focuses on identifying modern cyber threats and applying effective mitigation strategies. You will explore threat vectors, ransomware, and vulnerabilities in infrastructure using frameworks like the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix. The module also covers IoT security risks and defense mechanisms, along with practical approaches to prevention, detection, and response. By the end, you will understand how to assess risks and implement mitigation strategies across different environments.

This module explores how to design secure systems using defense-in-depth strategies and secure architecture principles. You will learn to identify threat vectors, entry points, and appropriate mitigation approaches across network, data, and cloud environments. The module also covers Azure security practices, identity protection, and monitoring techniques. By the end, you will be able to design layered security strategies that protect systems from evolving threats.

This module consolidates your learning through a comprehensive capstone project that applies threat modeling and mitigation strategies in a real-world scenario. You will design and implement a defense-in-depth security strategy, including identity, access, and policy configurations. The module also includes a final assessment to evaluate your understanding and readiness to apply cybersecurity concepts in professional contexts.
