As the digital revolution marches forward, cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) have taken center stage in transforming our world into a seamlessly interconnected ecosystem. This course dives deep into the interplay between Cloud computing, IoT, and generative artificial intelligence (AI), shedding light on their collective vulnerabilities and potential and demonstrating how generative AI can be both a formidable adversary and a powerful ally. You will begin by exploring common cloud service and IoT device vulnerabilities and how generative AI can help in either exploiting their respective vulnerabilities or protecting against such weaknesses. Then, you will then conduct a simulated hack against a cloud-based service with the assistance of generative AI. Next, you'll identify security best practices for cloud and IoT devices and evaluate security measures for cloud services and IoT devices. You'll employ generative AI to identify and mitigate IoT device vulnerabilities and you'll discover trends and advancements in cloud and IoT security and the role of generative AI. Finally, you will explore real-world case studies involving cloud and IoT hacking focusing on the potential impact of generative AI on these attacks.
