Security Engineering Specialization

Curriculum Readiness: Learner-ready

The complete teaching, practice, assessment, remediation, and evidence path is available. Editorial, technical, accessibility, security, external, and learner-pilot review remain tracked separately.

Goal

Develop, verify, deliver, and operate a system under an explicit threat model. Tool output without triage, remediation, and residual-risk reasoning does not pass.

Modules

  1. Foundations, Cryptography, Identity, and Authorization
  2. Application Security and ASVS Verification
  3. Systems, Network, and Cloud Security
  4. Software Supply-Chain and Platform Security
  5. Detection, Incident Response, and Security Architecture

Graduation Evidence

  • threat model, trust boundaries, and misuse cases
  • security requirements and automated verification
  • fuzzing or adversarial-test results
  • SBOM, signed artifact, and build provenance
  • vulnerability triage and remediation log
  • detection rules and incident exercise
  • residual-risk statement
  • independent security review
  • public-safe case study and oral defense

Use the project brief, checkpoint, and rubric as the binding gate.
