Zero Trust Architectures

Coursera · Intermediate ·🔐 Cybersecurity ·2mo ago
This program equips cybersecurity professionals, security architects, network engineers, and system administrators with the skills to design and implement Zero Trust security architectures in modern enterprise environments. You will explore the limitations of traditional security models, understand implicit trust risks, and learn how Zero Trust principles such as continuous verification and least privilege prevent lateral movement. The course covers NIST-based architecture, identity-driven access controls (MFA, RBAC, ABAC), segmentation, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), along with monitoring and policy enforcement strategies. You will apply these concepts in a practical project to design architecture, implement controls, and develop a phased Zero Trust roadmap aligned with enterprise and compliance requirements. By the end of this program, you will be able to: - Analyze implicit trust risks and identify lateral movement pathways in enterprise environments - Design Zero Trust architectures using NIST-aligned components and deployment models - Implement identity-driven access controls including MFA, RBAC, ABAC, and conditional access - Apply microsegmentation and Zero Trust Network Access to reduce attack surface - Enable continuous monitoring and adaptive policy enforcement using real-time signals - Align Zero Trust implementations with compliance frameworks and governance requirements - Develop phased Zero Trust implementation roadmaps based on risk and business priorities This course is designed for cybersecurity professionals, security architects, network engineers, system administrators, and IT practitioners seeking to build expertise in modern security architecture and Zero Trust implementation. Join us to develop the architectural thinking, technical depth, and strategic approach required to design secure, scalable, and resilient enterprise systems using Zero Trust principles.
