The Security Design mission is an advanced mission for Certified Pega Senior System Architects (SSAs) who are ready to take on the Certified Pega Lead System Architect role. This mission covers modules and topics that are required to design authentication services that verify the identity of operators, as well as effective authorization schemes that ensure users can access only the application features and data that they are authorized to access. This mission also discusses how to identify and address security vulnerabilities and design solutions that avoid common mistakes that can expose vulnerabilities in a system.
