Fourth course within the IoT Fundamentals series: IoT Security
To help students develop essential “white hat hacker” skills and see through the lens of an attacker, Networking Academy offers a new course within the IoT Fundamentals series.
We all know the threat impact to IT infrastructure and operational technologies has never been greater. Driven by the growth of connected IoT devices and the world’s digitization. This 50-hour instructor-led course that teaches students how to perform vulnerability and risk assessments then research, perform threat modeling and recommend risk mitigation strategies couldn’t be timelier. Through your guidance and course content and labs, they’ll develop cybersecurity skills using real-world tools such as Kali Linux installed on a Virtualbox VM environment, Raspberry Pi serving as a physical model of vulnerable IoT systems, and emerging technologies in the cybersecurity landscape such as Blockchain.
You’ll find that IoT Security is a flexible course that can be inserted into a variety of learning paths as shown in Image 2 – Basic Knowledge Pathway and Image 3 Certification Pathways.
Instructors, who participated in the limited release of IoT Security gave positive feedback:
Definitely a very useful course.
Course is rich and timely in relation to current technologies.
Security is a gap and always a big part of any IoT discussion. Great addition.
It’s recommended that students complete IoT Fundamentals: Connecting Things as a prerequisite course as well as have networking and security knowledge equivalent to Networking Essentials and Cybersecurity Essentials. Below you are able to view the CyberSecurity and Security pathway for Networking Academy students.
