This course will be useful to IoT practitioners who are looking to improve their skills and knowledge of IoT security and privacy. You will begin by mapping the IoT attack surface and building in security by design. Then, you'll identify threats to IoT web and cloud interfaces, and prevent numerous flaws, including injection, session management, cross-site scripting (XSS), and more flaws. You'll also use cryptography appropriately and protect data in motion, at rest, and in use.
This is the first course in a multi-course Specialization.
All of the courses in this Specialization require that you use the provided virtual machines, which include all of the necessary tools and system configurations for the activity environment. The course setup instructions provided in the first module of this course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.
As an Internet of Things (IoT) Security Practitioner, you are responsible for protecting the security and privacy of organizations and personnel using IoT systems. The size and complexity of this task will be overwhelming unless you have a strategy for breaking it down into solvable problems and deciding which problems must be tackled first. A risk management approach to cybersecurity will help you accomplish this.
