How to learn cybersecurity and the internet of things.

A team of faculties at Kennesaw State University which is one of the largest universities in the state of Georgia, going to teach you that!

The team consists of Dr. Humayun Zafar, Dr. Traci Carte, Mr. Andy Green, and Dr. Herbert Mattord. 

You may have heard about the Internet of Things (IoT).

But you may also have wondered about what it is.

what does it mean to you or an organization?

This learning is for you if you are curious about 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 your 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.

You 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.

This learning offers a place to learn, reflect, and plan for a smart community approach to IoT.

Portions of this learning may seem extremely technical in nature.

That is because the “things” in IoT represents engineering.

Try to grasp the concept in that case.
