Course Description

Vulnerable systems are made secure by employing enforcement mechanisms. Beyond enforcement mechanisms for authentication and for authorization, this course will explore the use of mechanisms for protecting the integrity of systems and, thus, preventing an attacker from circumventing controls. You will learn about the three primary classes of enforcement mechanisms — mediation/monitoring, isolation, and asymmetry — and discuss how they are deployed in systems today.

It is recommended to only take this course if you have completed “Systems Security,” “Authenticating Machines,” “Authenticating Humans,” “Discretionary Access Control,” and “Mandatory Access Control,” or have equivalent experience.
