This module provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of IoT security and architecture. It begins by exploring IoT security implementation, covering elements like technology assessment, secure-by-design philosophy, compliance assessments, and vulnerability assessments. Then, it addresses IoT device secure design principles. The module also focuses on IoT security architecture, differentiating system and security architecture, and guiding learners in the design process. It introduces various architectural views, including conceptual, module interconnection, execution, and security asset allocation, for a holistic approach to IoT security design. Additionally, the module highlights the integration of threat mitigation strategies, including accepted, transferred, mitigated, and detected threats, preparing learners to secure IoT ecosystems effectively.

This module provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of IoT security and network architecture. It begins by introducing IoT security network architecture, emphasizing its origins in Saltzer and Shroeder's 1970 work. The module discusses essential design principles like open design, separation of privilege, defense-in-depth, and Trust no-one principles, explaining their roles in IoT security. Learners will then explore key IoT network security implementation best practices and the use of cloud solutions for securing IoT networks, considering both advantages and challenges. Additionally, a practical example of secure IoT cloud architecture is provided for real-world application.

This module equips learners with the skills needed to secure IoT deployments effectively. In Lesson 1, they'll explore authorization and access control in IoT, covering identity and access management, security integration into IoT apps, encryption, and a revealing scenario highlighting the risks of exposing PII in IoT applications. In Lesson 2, learners dive into new approaches for securing IoT deployments, including anonymization, differential privacy, secure multi-party communication, homomorphic encryption, zero knowledge, biometrics, and blockchain technologies. The course concludes with a comprehensive understanding of innovative strategies to fortify IoT security.
