Introduction

The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has created many new opportunities for connecting people, places, and things. It has also brought with it an ever-expanding attack surface for threat actors to exploit. Today's organizations are challenged with
securely implementing many new devices into the existing information technology (IT) infrastructure. The IoT Security 1.1 course arms students with crucial knowledge they need to intelligently discuss and evaluate, at a basic level, the IoT security
environment for a given business context.

Curriculum Objectives

Upon completion of the IoT Security 1.1 course, students will be able to complete the following tasks:

  • Evaluate IoT security risks in an industry sector.
  • Use industry-standard models to explain security requirements in IoT systems.
  • Perform threat modeling activities to evaluate physical device security vulnerabilities in IoT systems.
  • Perform threat modeling activities to evaluate communication security vulnerabilities in IoT systems.
  • Perform threat modeling activities to evaluate application security vulnerabilities in IoT systems.
  • Use threat modeling and risk management frameworks to recommend threat mitigation measures.
  • Explain the impact of emerging technologies on IoT Security
