To round out your skills in IoT security, you'll protect and dispose of sensitive data when appropriate. You'll also manage risks related to software installations, patches, and operating systems. Lastly, you'll protect local memory and storage, and prevent physical port access.
This is the third and final course in a multi-course Specialization. All of the courses in this Specialization require that you use the provided virtual machines, which include all of the necessary tools and system configurations for the activity environment. The course setup instructions provided in the first course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.
As an Internet of Things (IoT) Security Practitioner, you should be concerned about data privacy not only from the perspective of protecting users, but also protecting the organizations that you represent. Violations of data privacy can have consequences affecting customers, can harm the organization's reputation, and can put intellectual property or trade secrets at risk. And failure to protect data properly may also have legal consequences to the organizations entrusted with that data.
