Description

​

ISAUnited’s Security by Design Program is the flagship training path of the School of Engineering Cyber Defense, built for professionals who want to stop reacting to security problems and start engineering secure systems from the first design decision. This program develops The Implementer—the Security by Design professional who can turn intent into execution, guide teams through defensible design choices, and keep risk visible from concept to operations.

​

Students learn a disciplined, repeatable method for translating business goals into measurable security requirements, applying threat and design analysis to real architectures, and placing controls where they belong using clear models, trust boundaries, interfaces, dependencies, and failure domains. You will also strengthen how you communicate decisions across engineering teams, document trade-offs with purpose, and produce evidence that stands up to review—so security becomes a built-in design constraint that reduces rework, accelerates delivery, and raises system resilience.

​

The program is delivered in two progressive parts—Fundamentals and Advanced—so you can start applying Security by Design immediately, then scale your capability into tooling, verification and validation, organizational adoption, and leadership. If you are a security practitioner, engineer, architect, or aspiring technical leader who wants practical methods that work in real projects, this program provides the structure and engineering mindset to build security in, not bolt it on.
