Course Lessons
Lesson 1
Architecting with Security in Mind
Design secure embedded systems by integrating early security measures, threat modeling, and privacy practices to protect sensitive data and prevent potential cyber threats.
Lesson 2
Securing Sensitive Information and IAM
Explore how to protect sensitive info and implement secure IAM practices, leveraging coding, secure elements, and behavioral measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
Lesson 3
I/O Sanitization
Discover how to sanitize I/O in embedded systems, prevent injection attacks, buffer overflows, and secure debugging data while maintaining software security integrity.
Lesson 4
Hardening and Supply Chain Risk Management
How to harden embed systems by reducing the attack surface through the removal of unused components, implementing secure boot, and gaining visibility into vulnerabilities in third-party libraries.
Lesson 5
TLS and Secure Updates
Enhance the security of embedded devices by securing their communication, implementing a mechanism for secure OTA updates, and ensuring the integrity and authenticity of the firmware.
Lesson 6 • Project
Securing an Embedded System
You will secure a software system by performing a threat analysis, defining user roles, and hardening the system. You will implement security practices and demonstrate a secure update process.
