About this course
This course develops practical capability in IoT Security. Its course-specific content covers Device risks, Identity and communication, Firmware lifecycle, Security review, followed by an applied project focused on assess and improve security for a connected-device design. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with IoT Security or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Working knowledge of iot, embedded & edge computing and practical familiarity with the named platform or subject. Review the course topics before enrolment to confirm the lab starting point.
Assess and improve security for a connected-device design
Deliver assess and improve security for a connected-device design. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
Course content
Course-specific syllabus and practical exercises. Lab release, access arrangements and final delivery scope are confirmed before enrolment.
01Device risks
