The Network and IoT Security course is a practice-oriented program that introduces fundamental cybersecurity concepts through real-world network configuration and experimentation. Using OpenWrt as a flexible open-source platform, participants gain hands-on experience in securing network infrastructures, configuring firewalls, managing routing and network address translation (NAT), deploying virtual private networks (VPNs) and monitoring network traffic. The course also explores security challenges specific to IoT and embedded systems, focusing on secure configuration, access control, system hardening and threat mitigation. Through guided laboratories and realistic scenarios, learners develop the ability to design, implement, manage and troubleshoot secure network environments. The course bridges cybersecurity theory and practical application, preparing participants for roles involving network administration, cybersecurity operations and secure system deployment.
