Internet of Things Security. Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity 40 hours

Introduction

The course Internet of Things security. Cybersecurity It is a response to the growing interconnection of devices in our daily lives. The expansion of the IoT has created an environment in which security has become essential in the face of the multitude of vulnerabilities. We provide a comprehensive overview of key aspects of effective protection, such as the structure of the IoT, the challenges it faces and the measures for cloud security. By definition, the Internet of Things is “the interconnection via the Internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data. The IoT connects your devices to the Internet or to other devices, enabling them to perform new functions, such as remotely controlling smart devices and receiving alerts and status updates. This refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected, collecting and sharing data. It is precisely this concept of total interconnection via the Internet that can pose a risk to users, as there are many vulnerabilities surrounding these devices and they lack the necessary protection, making them a source of entry points for various potential attacks on our network.
