This module focuses on implementing comprehensive security controls for big data environments, covering defense in depth strategies, authentication and authorization mechanisms, and data protection techniques. Students will learn to design multilayered security architectures, configure identity and access management systems, and implement encryption and privacy controls that meet regulatory requirements while maintaining system performance.

This module focuses on optimizing the performance of big data systems. Students will learn how to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, implement caching strategies, apply indexing and partitioning techniques, and optimize query performance in distributed environments. The module prepares learners to ensure efficient processing, fast response times, and robust observability in large-scale data systems so that issues can be detected and addressed before they impact users.

This module focuses on designing horizontally and vertically scalable big data architectures, implementing automatic scaling policies for varying workloads, applying distribution strategies for balanced performance, and managing system growth through effective planning and implementation.

This module covers enterprise-grade practices for big data operations, cost optimization strategies for large-scale deployments, and real-world case studies from successful big data implementations across industries. Students will learn operational excellence frameworks, comprehensive cost management approaches, and proven implementation patterns that can be applied to different organizational contexts.
