Course Overview
EC-Council’s IoT Security Essentials Series provides comprehensive coverage of essential topics in securing Internet of Things (IoT) systems. From understanding the fundamental concepts of IoT to addressing advanced security threats, students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to design, deploy, and maintain secure IoT solutions. Through a combination of theoretical learning and hands-on exercises, participants will explore IoT fundamentals, networking and communication protocols, cloud integration, threat intelligence, incident response, and security engineering principles. Put your newly acquired abilities to the test with an exhilarating Capture the Flag (CTF) Exercise seamlessly integrated in our Capstone project. This CTF is seamlessly integrated by live virtual machines, genuine software, and real networks, all delivered within a secure and regulated sandbox environment. With these exclusive hands-on, human-versus-machine CTF challenges you will develop the hands-on proficiencies essential for success in your cyber professional role.
Ultimately, students will be equipped with the expertise needed to effectively identify, assess, and mitigate security risks in IoT environments, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of IoT systems and data.
