Cybersecurity and Embedded Systems

Course Description

Embedded systems offer many opportunities to economically and effectively control large infrastructure systems, small single purpose devices, and many products in between. But their use can also introduce vulnerabilities easily exploited to gain access to valuable data, alter device functionality, or impose other risks. This course will provide an understanding of those unique vulnerabilities in embedded systems that are commonly exploited. Discover techniques and strategies for integrating cybersecurity measures into products from the start. Through hands-on labs, examine emerging threats and learn to think like a hacker to gain the skills necessary to create more secure products. You will learn the best practices to integrate into design processes and raise the level of product security.
