SNS S530 Defensible Security Architecture and Engineering Implementing Zero Trust for the Hybrid Enterprise - GIAC Defensible Security Architecture GDSA
 
Course Description
This course focuses on designing and implementing defensible security architectures grounded in Zero Trust principles. Learners gain practical methods for securing hybrid enterprise environments that span on premises infrastructure and cloud platforms. Emphasis is placed on reducing attack surfaces limiting lateral movement and building architectures that support both operational resilience and security visibility.
 
What You Will Learn
Design scalable security architectures across hybrid enterprise environments
Develop segmentation strategies and define control zones to limit attack paths
Integrate identity based access controls with continuous verification models
Implement secure network design DNS visibility and centralized logging architectures
Apply defense in depth principles to reduce blast radius and improve containment
Align architectural decisions with modern security frameworks and operational needs
 
Who This Course Is For
This course is designed for security architects enterprise architects security engineers SOC leaders risk professionals and senior practitioners responsible for designing and governing enterprise security architectures.
 
Hands On Training Experience
Learners design and test layered security architectures using realistic network emulation labs. Exercises include simulating attacks validating defensive controls and refining architectural decisions based on observed outcomes in enterprise like environments.
 
Course Outcomes
Design defensible security architectures aligned with Zero Trust principles
Reduce attack surfaces and lateral movement opportunities
Strengthen collaboration between security architecture and operations teams
Improve enterprise resilience through validated architectural controls
