CSSLP 2024: Security in Firmware & Industrial IoT

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Vast sectors like manufacturing, energy, the automotive industry, and medical devices are now powered by the Industrial Internet of Things, or IIoT. This course gives you the tools to manage the unique security considerations of these technologies. First, learn about the security of firmware and hardware device drivers, exploring vulnerabilities and studying famous attacks such as Stuxnet. Then, examine cognitive computing, AR/VR, IIoT, and specific attacks by Triton malware targeting IIoT systems. Next, explore Facilities IIoT and Automotive IIoT, focusing on infrastructure and vehicular systems security. Study famous security breaches, like the 2015 Jeep Cherokee hack, and then move on to robotics and medical devices IIoT. Learn about software-defined production considerations, including digital twins, sensor/actuator networks, and dynamic configuration management. After that, focus on security management interfaces, learning about their key components, such as SIEM and EDR systems. Then, explore the role of Out-of-Band (OOB) Management and log interfaces. Finally, examine application dependencies, assess the impact of protocol design choices and evaluate factors in API protocol design, particularly the choice between stateless and stateful protocols. This course prepares learners for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam.
