In this module we will take a look at what a platform is and the leading suppliers of platforms. I'll give you a quick look at an example building automation deployment and how a platform forms the "glue" that ties the entire system together. We will also take a look at the software and services market.

This is probably the most important module in the entire specialization. With billions of devices connected to the internet, security is of paramount importance. I will share with you the bulk of my experience in developing security solutions for end-node type devices. For me the products were hard drives and solid state drives. However, the principles that "work" for storage devices also apply to any IIoT device. I have a colleague guest speaker (Don Matthews) come in to talk to you about his experience with security which he has been doing for 25+ years.

The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
