The IDC estimates that there would be 152,200 IoT devices connected every minute by 2025, indicating that there would be about 80 billion IoT devices connected annually. While IoT devices have numerous benefits and are immensely helpful for different purposes, they also pose as attractive vulnerabilities for cybercriminals. Be it insecure passwords, networks, ecosystem interfaces or any other vulnerability and weakness, once an IoT device is compromised, it can lead to major losses for any organization, and not just financially.
The Ponemon Institute and Shared Assessments Survey indicates that 76% of risk professionals believe that cyberattacks on their organizations would likely be executed through IoT.
To keep up with the changing trends and need of the hour, Cognixia introduces its new course – IoT Security and Penetration Testing. This course aims to highlight the need to incorporate security in IoT devices and solutions. This course employs a holistic approach to provide a comprehensive understanding of security and privacy in an IoT system from device to cloud. This IoT security training imparts a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of threat modelling practices which will help participants unveil potential vulnerabilities as well as possible threats to the IoT ecosystem. The course also covers penetration testing which will help participants deploy best practices to assess and defend their solutions. This IoT security course also incorporates hands-on practical exercises for a thorough experiential and practical learning experience to the participants.
By the end of this course, participants will have the leadership toolkit to shape and steer GenAI portfolios across their organization.

Our trainers are highly experienced subject matter experts in the field of IoT security and penetration testing.
An internet speed of at least 2 Mbps is essential.
When you enroll for this course, you get lifetime access to our Learning Management System (LMS) which would be your one-stop destination to access class recordings, presentations, sample codes, projects and lots of other learning material. Even if you miss a session, a recording of that session, as well as all the other sessions would be available on the LMS that you can access anytime, anywhere.
For any queries, you can reach out to our technical support team and they will guide you accordingly.
Once all the sessions of the course are completed, you will be evaluated on the basis of multiple parameters such as your attendance in the sessions, your scores in multiple-choice questions-based assessment, etc. Based on your overall performance, you will receive a course completion certificate from Cognixia.
No, you can reuse the kit provided during the Advanced IoT training for this course.
