Understanding the who, where, and what is important for good outcomes when it comes to data security. Through this course, explore a breakdown of data security challenges and best practices, and how to use your knowledge of them like tools in a toolbox. Discover data security challenges that occur with teams, data, and projects, examine data security in the cloud and in data centers, learn about project data sets, and explore team expertise levels and other elements of a team before, during, and after a project. After course completion, you'll be able to apply a better understanding of data security challenges and best practices for teams and projects.

Data security involves more than understanding the skills and techniques necessary to keep information safe. Once you have identified policies and procedures and considered security challenges and best practices, what are your next steps? Through this course, consider the best means to implement, sustain, and enforce good data security practices across your teams and projects. How does the experience level of a particular team affect data security considerations? Define use cases for inexperienced, mixed experience, and highly experienced project teams. Identify the components that make up each type of team, and learn to recognize best practices for each type of team as they relate to data security. After course completion, you'll be able to consider the specifics of each team when identifying the best ways to apply data security to their work.

Security can be defined in many ways and broken down into numerous types. Data security involves defining the necessary policies and procedures that ensure data is cared for and protected. Through this course, learn about data security attributes and parameters and examine data security from a variety of perspectives. Discover the definition of security and its types, including data security. Next, study the theory and functionality of DevSecOps, as well as risk identification, assessment, and management. Finally, examine the use of data security frameworks, including popular frameworks such as COBIT, NIST, and FISMA. After course completion, you'll be able to outline security terms, expressions, and frameworks.

Computer systems and the Internet have changed the way the world does everyday activities. These innovations allow people and businesses to be more connected and accessible than ever before. However, as the Internet evolved, so did Internet security threats, including the sophistication of Internet scams and attacks. In this course, you will explore the history of computer systems and the Internet and discover the basic tenants of information security: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. You will discover different types of information security including application, cloud, and infrastructure security and explore information security risks including advanced persistent threats, insider threats, and ransomware. You will also learn to differentiate between InfoSec, cybersecurity, and DevSecOps. Finally, you will explore common benefits of DevSecOps, including delivery and security.
