IoT Operations Playbook
RCCE students will learn Internet of Things security covering smart device vulnerabilities, IoT protocol analysis (MQTT, CoAP, Zigbee, Z-Wave), firmware security assessment, IoT network segmentation, and cloud-connected device risk management. RCCE students will learn to assess IoT device security posture, identify common IoT vulnerabilities including default credentials, insecure update mechanisms, unencrypted communications, and insufficient access controls. The course covers IoT-specific threat modeling, secure IoT deployment architectures, monitoring IoT device behavior for anomalies, and responding to incidents involving compromised IoT devices in enterprise and industrial environments. This operations-focused course delivers production-ready playbooks, checklists, and standard operating procedures. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn to build repeatable day-to-day operational workflows that ensure consistency and quality. Students receive templates and frameworks they can customize and deploy immediately in their security operations, reducing time to operational effectiveness.
