Presentation
In a world where the Internet of Things (IoT) is redefining digital boundaries, data protection and infrastructure resilience are becoming critical issues for every organisation. This course provides foundational knowledge of IoT system concepts, principles and lifecycles. Based on the international standard ISO/IEC 27400:2022, it introduces essential mechanisms for securing connected-device ecosystems while protecting user privacy.
The programme focuses on identifying risk sources specific to IoT environments and applying appropriate security and privacy controls. You will explore the roles of different stakeholders and learn to interpret the standard's guidelines to strengthen your organisation's cybersecurity posture. The learning approach combines rigorous theory with concrete examples to support understanding of industry best practices.
By the end of the course, you will have the expertise to contribute effectively to implementing a robust IoT security programme aligned with international standards. You will also be ready to take the PECB ISO/IEC 27400 Foundation certification examination (see the Certification tab for details). This certification demonstrates your understanding of the fundamental methodologies needed to protect IoT products and services against emerging threats.
