Security controls Architecture Patterns: Workshop
RCCE students will learn security control selection, implementation, and validation including preventive, detective, corrective, deterrent, and compensating controls. RCCE students will learn to map security controls to organizational risk and compliance requirements, select appropriate controls from frameworks like NIST 800-53 and CIS Controls, implement technical, administrative, and physical controls, validate control effectiveness through testing and monitoring, document control evidence for audit purposes, identify control gaps and implement compensating controls, and maintain a control catalog that evolves with changing threats and regulatory requirements. This architecture course teaches secure system design using proven patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to evaluate design options against security requirements, make informed trade-off decisions, and build systems that are resilient by design. Students gain the architectural thinking skills needed for security engineering and solution design roles.
