Course Summary

Ethical Hacking course: Hacking the Internet of Things (IoT). Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the hottest trends in technology. Many devices are launched daily (some are necessary and some are jokes). The main issue is that every device introduces a new weakness that you never expect. At the core of ethical hacking, every security professional must have a thorough knowledge of all the devices on their network, including the Internet of Things (IoT). In this course you will see how these devices are designed to work and how to protect your infrastructure when these devices arrive. First, you will learn about the different communication models that IoT devices use, as well as the most common architectures and protocols. Then, you’ll learn about the various threats that IoT devices pose if mismanaged, as well as how to choose a manufacturer that also aims to protect your networks. Finally, you’ll discover the various tools that can be used against you, as well as some countermeasures you can deploy to better protect your resources. When you complete this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of IoT devices and how they can create new vulnerabilities, as well as your understanding of ethical hacking as a security professional.
