 3. INTRODUCTION OF THE COURSE

The most recent trends and activities in the internet capabilities and
concerns about programmed devices. There are complexities and areas of
necessary awareness when the industrial sector becomes connected to our
home.
● Security policies and practices have not yet caught up to the internet
capabilities of some of our most common products.
● The “connected home”, “consumer wearables”, or even an employee’s
HVAC system may cause an unanticipated threat to your business
environment.
● Will explore current security and privacy related concerns in each of
these areas. Every module will include readings, videos, case studies,
and a quiz to help make sure you understand the material and concepts
we talk about.
● To learn, reflect, and plan for a smart community approach to IoT.
Portions of this course may seem extremely technical in nature. That is
because the “things” in IoT represents engineering.
