Description:
This talk aims to cover two fundamental aspects:
-
Present, in the first part of the session and from the hand of Cisco, the news of the Cisco Networking Academy educational initiative, of which PUE is its Premier + Partner in Spain.
-
See the educational solution that Cisco proposes for the training of students in the IoT Security specialty from a practical perspective, which will occupy the second and main part of the session.
The rapid increase in the number of connected IoT devices allows the global digitalization of all types of IT infrastructures and their components, but at the same time increases the exposure to security threats.
The availability of IoT devices opens a wide range of opportunities for application and development of services, although, by design, these devices tend to have shortcomings in the usual methods of implementing security solutions and policies. Specific cybersecurity solutions are required for IoT devices.
In this scenario, the IoT Fundamentals: IoT Security course is incorporated into the educational catalog of the Netacad program, consolidating the existing IoT training itinerary, and expanding the security implementation perspectives in the network architectures that work with these devices.
This talk will present a practical application of the IoT Security course using the different laboratories and teaching tools designed by Cisco and made available to the Cisco Academy centers for the training of their students in everything related to the implementation of security solutions for IoT devices.
The IoT Fundamentals course: IoT Security teaches students the "White Hat Hacker" skills aimed at conducting vulnerability and risk assessments. It also researches and recommends mitigation strategies for common security threats in IoT systems.
Cisco Networking Academy is an educational initiative with more than 20 years of history that has trained a total of 7.8 million students in more than 180 countries.
PUE is the only Cisco Premier + Partner in the NetAcad program in Spain, with nearly 300 centres attached to its figure of the Academy Support Centre (ASC) and Instructor Training Centre (ITC).
