How to pass UUY-CYB 214

  • OWASP IoT Top 10 is a free, authoritative list of IoT vulnerabilities — read it fully
  • If you can access an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, build a simple sensor project to make concepts tangible
  • IoT security connects to network security, cryptography, and embedded systems — build cross-course links
  • Real-world IoT breaches (Mirai botnet, industrial ICS attacks) make the best exam examples
