Skills you'll gain

Specialization - 3 course series

Throughout the three courses in this specialization, learners will utilize a variety of methods to test their learning. First, each lesson within a module includes an ungraded practice quiz, then, each module has a graded exam to test their understanding of the course content. Readings and discussion questions are included to reinforce the learning, as well as interactive elements to review or test what has been covered in that section.

Module 1 includes topics such as the architecture of edge networks, edge computing technologies, devices and sensors, network infrastructure, communication technologies, and more. In Module 2, you will explore the various applications of edge networks such as IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous vehicles, healthcare, industrial automation, and retail and energy management. Module 3 will consist of several topics including common security vulnerabilities as well as the challenges and fundamental concepts in security and privacy.

During Module 1, learners will learn about security challenges and vulnerabilities. Module 2 consists of topics such as hardware security, security-by-design, and best practices for edge computing. Continuing to Module 3, learners will discuss privacy, compliance, and regulatory considerations in edge computing.

Topics for Module 1 will include risk analysis and security risks for edge computing. Module 2 consists of risk prioritization, developing a risk mitigation strategy for edge computing, real-time monitoring, and scalable and adaptive security solutions. During Module 3, you will gain knowledge of compliance with international security standards and ways to stay compliant and updated with changes in edge computing.
