The accelerated growth of the Internet has contributed greatly to the way users and devices interact with each other. As the popularity of the Internet grew, so did the size of networks and number of connected devices, which led to increased computing power, plummeting prices, and improved communication speeds and accessibility. Eventually, connecting devices became cheaper, easier, and more reliable. In 1999, Kevin Ashton termed this idea of using a cheap sensor, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), as part of supply chain optimization as the “Internet of Things” (or IoT).
Learners gain insight and examine this collection of sensors, actuators and computing capabilities, not only how they work together to solve problems and provide services, but also how they drive decisions. This course will take learners through each aspect of IoT and how their characteristics and choices drive decisions, leave gaps and create security vulnerabilities.
The interactive, self-guided format blends both knowledge and performance-based training components to provide a truly unique and dynamic learning experience that builds and reinforces the critical skills required to perform real-world technical tasks.
It is highly advised to purchase the IoT Fundamentals Lab Package and IoT Fundamentals Study Guide as companions to this course. The exam for this certificate will include both knowledge and performance-based components which are covered in detail in the accompanying lab package and study guide.
At the completion of this course learners will be able to:
- Explain each of the components of the IoT Network and their function
- Provide use cases where actuators and sensors work together
- Describe the components of a physical security system
- Describe the purpose of middleware and how it functions within the IoT network
- Summarize the key features of middleware
- Explain the methods available for authenticating and protecting data
- Describe the function of the three key elements of the IoT architecture
Ideal for:
- Individuals seeking to increase their knowledge and skills in Emerging Technology Topics
- Students or Recent Grads
- Candidates looking to prepare for the IoT Fundamentals Certificate Exam
Online training labs included:
- Connectivity Protocols
- Cybersecurity Concerns
Learners will have access to the course for six months from date of purchase and will earn 4.5 CPE upon completion. This course has a seat time of approximately 3 hours and is accessed via the Learning Access tab of your MyISACA dashboard.
