What you’ll learn in this course
The Securing Industrial IoT Networks with Cisco Technologies (ISECIN) v1.0 course provides the foundation you need to succeed with the industrial IoT. You will learn how to lead and secure high-visibility IIoT enabled infrastructure projects, and gain critical insight into IoT-enabled industries such as manufacturing, energy, oil and gas, utilities, and process control. You will also learn about IIoT architectures as well as their security requirements, frameworks, and regulations. In addition, you study security protocols, vulnerabilities, and how to protect your network from those vulnerabilities.
The IIoT offers tremendous opportunity for innovation and productivity, but in an increasingly complex world, IIoT devices cannot protect themselves. When industrial networks converge with enterprise networks, and the volume of connected devices grows every day, security professionals must understand the characteristics and security exposures of critical IIoT-enabled infrastructures.
