Syllabus

WEEK 1
AWS: Authentication and Authorization mechanisms
Welcome to Week 1 of the AWS: Security in Data Analytics. This week, we will be introduced to AWS security in data analytics and learn how to analyze appropriate authentication and authorization mechanisms. We will also focus on analyzing AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) permissions, which is a service that helps manage user access to AWS resources. By the end of the week, we should have a good understanding of how to ensure security in data analytics through appropriate authentication and authorization mechanisms, as well as how to effectively manage user access to AWS resources using IAM permissions.

WEEK 2
AWS: VPCs and Data Protection and Encryption Techniques
Welcome to Week 2 of the AWS: Security in Data Analytics. This week, we will learn about how to ensure security and privacy in AWS data analytics by utilizing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to isolate resources. We will analyze the working of VPC and implement it to ensure that data is kept safe and secure within an isolated environment. Additionally, we will learn about data protection and encryption techniques, including data encryption at rest and in transit, and how to apply these techniques in our data analytics solutions.

WEEK 3
AWS: Data Governance and Compliance Controls
Welcome to Week 3 of the AWS: Security in Data Analytics. This week, we will focus on data governance and compliance controls in AWS data analytics. We will learn how to implement and enforce policies and procedures to ensure that data is collected, stored, and processed in compliance with regulatory requirements and industry best practices.. By the end of the week, we should have a good understanding of how to apply data governance and compliance controls in AWS data analytics .

I’ve heard this before – “I’m not sure my computer security practices are working”. I reply “Have you tested them?” This course is the fourth and final course in the Practical Computer Security specialization. In this course, you’ll learn how to proactively test what you have put in place to protect your data. In the first week you’ll be able to discuss the basics of deterrents and how to “trick” attackers into believing they’ve hit a goldmine of data away from your real systems. In week 2, you’ll be able to understand and discuss the steps of penetration testing methodology.

The design step in developing software has some unique characteristics. First of all, it’s the only step where drawing pictures of things is the norm. Why is that? What do pictures do that other representations cannot do? Pictures have varying levels of detail; pictures have context. Pictures…paint a picture. Why are these things important? In this course, too, we begin looking at other disciplines (building architecture is a favorite one) for lessons on design.
