This course covers the expanding attack surfaces of embedded systems, IoT devices, mobile platforms, and web applications, all critical areas in security and on the Security+ exam. Covering approximately 3.5 hours of expert instruction, learners develop the skills to secure a wide variety of specialized systems and application-layer communications. Learners benefit by understanding how to secure smartphones, IoT devices, and embedded systems; apply mobile device management (MDM); implement secure application-layer protocols; and identify and mitigate OWASP web application vulnerabilities including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and CSRF. Online labs reinforce mobile security and application hardening tasks. By the end of this course, learners will be able to protect mobile and specialized systems, implement secure protocols, and defend web applications against common attack patterns.
