Internet of Things (IoT) Security Foundations for ITS-110

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand rapidly, securing connected devices and the networks they rely on has become a critical priority. This course provides a clear, structured path to understanding IoT security risks, designing defensive strategies, and aligning your knowledge with the ITS-110 exam objectives. You will transition from a beginner to a confident practitioner capable of identifying vulnerabilities and implementing robust security controls across the entire IoT ecosystem. Starting with core concepts, you will build the knowledge required to safeguard hardware, software, and data transmission. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational IoT architecture, security models, and the modern threat landscape. - Apply zero-trust security principles to connected device networks and cloud integrations. - Configure secure communication protocols and cryptographic standards to protect data in transit. - Implement vulnerability management, secure patching, and safe firmware update practices. - Practice identifying and mitigating common hardware and physical security risks. - Prepare for the ITS-110 exam using targeted, scenario-based reading exercises. The course begins with fundamental terminology and threat modeling frameworks, ensuring you have a strong conceptual base before progressing to network segmentation, device hardening, and compliance standards. This course is designed for IT professionals, system administrators, and beginners looking to enter the field of cybersecurity. No prior IoT security experience is required.
