Course content

8 sections • 27 lectures • 2h 53m total length

  • The course architecture3:13

    Explore a hands-on security architecture using open source tools, from web firewall and mod_security to keycloak for identity and access management, OpenID Connect, and secure service communication.

  • Source code0:02
  • Local architecture with docker1:13

    Use Docker to run the entire architecture locally, install Docker Desktop to view running containers, and start all services defined in a configuration file with a single command.

Requirements

  • Some development knowledge is required
  • No security background is required

Description

Step into the world of distributed systems with our hands-on course that equips you with the skills and knowledge you need to build secure and reliable systems and act as a security architect. Tackle core challenges such as authentication, authorization, and secure communication while leveraging industry-standard technologies and patterns that prepare you for today’s dynamic threat landscape.


In this course, you'll get your hands dirty with real-world tools like Keycloak for authentication and OPA for precise policy enforcement. Master secure communication and traffic management using Nginx, and become adept at detecting and mitigating threats with OWASP CRS and ModSecurity. You'll integrate JWT for secure token management, Sidecar for modular architecture, and Reverse Proxy for efficient traffic handling. Plus, you'll implement secure protocols with digital certificates and HTTPS to ensure data integrity and privacy.


In this course, you will learn how to:

• Authenticate and verify identities using an self hosted Opensource identity provider.

• Control access with precision using OPA for policy enforcement.

• Secure communications and manage network traffic with Nginx acting as inbound and outbound sidecar proxy.

• Detect and mitigate threats with OWASP CSR for robust threat detection rules and OWASP ModSecurity as your first line of defense.

• Integrate essential security patterns such as JWT for secure token management, Sidecar for modular architecture, and Reverse Proxy for efficient traffic handling.

• Implement secure mutual TLS(mTLS) with digital certificates to ensure data integrity and privacy.


With our hands-on approach, every module empowers you to apply these techniques directly in real-world environments. This course is ideal for software developers, security professionals, architects, and anyone interested in designing and implementing secure systems.

Elevate your expertise in security architecture by engaging with interactive labs and exercises that transform theoretical concepts into deployable solutions.
