This course focuses on Internet-accessible systems or "Internet of Things" (IoT). Each of these systems and devices can be targeted by threat actors and used to conduct malicious activity if they are unsecured, or worse, these systems can leave vulnerabilities and sensitive information open to exploitation if not properly configured and maintained. This course explains the vulnerabilities of internet-accessible systems and how to prepare for, mitigate, and respond to a potential attack. This course provides key knowledge to inform organizational awareness of internet-accessible system attacks as well as best practices that minimize the likelihood of a successful attack and enable effective response and recovery if an attack occurs.
