The Swiss Cheese Security Pattern
Understanding that there is no panacea when it comes to securing your data assets is important. We will look at how to adopt the right mindset and then build a secure architecture to minimise the risk to your data.
When it comes to building secure systems, we need to have the right mindset, get that right and the rest follows. When we accept that what we build contains vulnerabilities we are then in a better position to build more secure systems because we can recognise the holes and cover them off.
Learn how to build a solid security strategy, how to adopt a security by design mindset, and the patterns and practices that will help you protect your data assets giving you the best chance to meet the requirements of legislative and industry regulations such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, and similar.
