Curso 2 de 4 em Specialization Cybersecurity: Developing a Program for Your Business

Welcome! You may have heard about the Internet of Things (IoT). But you may also have wondered about what it is. Or for that matter, what does it mean to you or an organization. This course is for you if you are curious about the most recent trends and activities in the internet capabilities and concerns about programmed devices. There are complexities and areas of necessary awareness when the industrial sector becomes connected to your home. Security policies and practices have not yet caught up to the internet capabilities of some of our most common products. The “connected home”, “consumer wearables”, or even an employee’s HVAC system may cause an unanticipated threat to your business environment. You will explore current security and privacy related concerns in each of these areas. Every module will include readings, videos, case studies, and a quiz to help make sure you understand the material and concepts we talk about. This course offers a place to learn, reflect, and plan for a smart community approach to IoT. Portions of this course may seem extremely technical in nature. That is because the “things” in IoT represents engineering. Try to grasp the concept in that case.

IoT and Consumer Wearables

In this module, we will expose you to IoT devices in the consumer wearables sector. You will learn about some of the more popular devices, how they are used, what data they can report about you, and how that data may be used. As with the other modules, we will also help you explore current security and privacy-related concerns that are out there.

[SOUND] Everybody wants to live a long, healthy life and

stay current with what's going on around us, right?

Well, it seems that lots of manufacturers think that they have the next great quote

unquote, thing, to help us do just that.

The intersection of the IOT and consumer wearables.

Is a huge sector drawing a lots of interest and lots of computer spending.

In this module we will look at the IOT devices in the consumer wearable sector.

You will learn about some of the more popular devices how they are used,

what data they can report about you and how that data is being used.

As with other modules, we will also explore current security and

privacy related concerns that are out there.

Wearable devices in general are seeing a huge growth rate in terms of

user acceptance.

One study showed that the ownership of wearable devices doubled.

From 15% in 2015, to 30% in 2016.

This same study also found that a third of wearable

device owners quit using the devices in as little as two weeks after purchase.

The reasons are buried, but include concerns over limited functionality in use

as well as the lack of standalone connectivity.

This lack of standalone connectivity requires users to tether the device via

Bluetooth to something like a smartphone in order to have internet access

the IOT and fitness device sector is growing at a fairly helpful clip.

These devices can help do things like tracking your workout level,

sleep duration and quality, heart rate, steps taken and

stairs climbed, and blood glucose level, just to name a few.

Smartwatches are also growing in popularity and adoption.

These devices offer a range of features like: reading your email,

viewing text messages, looking up things on the internet, seeing who's calling you,

and, yes, they even manage to tell you the time as well.

The consumer technology association believes that smartwatch sales will

increase 22% in 2016, generating $3.7 billion in revenue.

So with all of those horrible devices out there

sending data and monitoring our most human basic functions, you have to stop and

wonder how safe and secure is my data and what is being done with that data?

There are many potential concerns as they relate to our privacy and device security.

For example, what if your health insurer

entered into a data-sharing agreement with your fitness device manufacturer?

What would happen to your healthcare costs if your provider decided that your

data shows that you live a less than healthy lifestyle.

Would they even go as far as to drop you as a customer?

And stop to consider the possibilities of being able to track your movements

as you work out.

Could your workout patterns be used to determine when you're not at home?

What value would that information be to criminals?

These are just a few of the many privacy and

security-related concerns in this area.
